Today in class, we read Thomas Jefferson's original draft of The Delcaration of Independence as well as the final copy used by out government today. Think how interesting it would have been if the founders of the country has gone with Jefferson's first draft. Do you think slavery would have still existed? Why do you think so many of the founders (especially those from the South) wanted Jefferson to change some of his wording? This just goes to show you how powerful words truly can be. After reading, answer questions #1, #2, and #3.
Homework:
1. Read Elizabeth Cady Stanton's "Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions" on page 878 of the Norton Reader. TAP it and answer questions 1 - 3 on page 880.
2. Be prepared for tomorrow's Socratic Seminar discussion of Zeitoun. Yes, we will have food!
