I Declare...

You picked up a Study Guide for Exam 1.2 as well as a handout with part of the Declaration of Independence broken down into short phrases - we also had a short list of keywords with easier definitions).  I read it aloud, told you a brief story about its signing, and then assigned you the task of simplifying each segment into easier phrases so an elementary student could understand it.  You then reqrote that into your own (paraphrased) Declaration of Independence.  The back page (part 2) was assigned as extra credit (due Tuesday).  We;ll go through the first part again after next week.

On Monday, you'll get two handouts - one is a short reading and the other is a nice comparison chart.  You'll also have a good 30-45 minutes to read and study for Tuesday's exam.
