Thomas​ ​Paine​ ​wrote​ ​the​ ​pamphlet​ ​​Common​ ​Sense​​ ​to​ ​convince​ ​American​ ​colonists​ ​to​ ​support the​ ​idea​ ​of​ ​independence.​ ​You​ ​should​ ​now​ ​understand​ ​the​ ​relationship​ ​between​ ​political principles​ ​and​ ​the​ ​Declaration​ ​of​ ​Independence.​ ​Use​ ​the​ ​information​ ​you​ ​learned​ ​in​ ​the​ ​lesson to​ ​create​ ​your​ ​own​ ​modern​ ​day​ ​Common​ ​Sense​ ​pamphlet​ ​that​ ​explains​ ​how​ ​the​ ​Declaration of​ ​Independence​ ​upholds​ ​the​ ​principles​ ​of​ ​popular​ ​sovereignty,​ ​social​ ​contract,​ ​and​ ​natural and​ ​individual​ ​rights.

Steps

1. Use​ ​this​ ​​Pamphlet​ ​Template​​ ​or​ ​a​ ​Web​ ​2.0​ ​tool​ ​to​ ​create​ ​your​ ​six-panel​ ​pamphlet. 2. There​ ​are​ ​many​ ​21st​ ​century​ ​tools​ ​available​ ​for​ ​creating​ ​and​ ​submitting​ ​your​ ​work

in​ ​the​ ​online​ ​environment.​ ​For​ ​more​ ​information​ ​on​ ​the​ ​tools​ ​your​ ​school​ ​uses, contact​ ​your​ ​teacher​ ​or​ ​visit​ ​the​ ​Web​ ​2.0​ ​tools​ ​area​ ​of​ ​your​ ​course.

3. The​ ​first​ ​panel​ ​should​ ​be​ ​the​ ​title​ ​panel.​ ​Include​ ​your​ ​name,​ ​date,​ ​instructor,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​title​ ​for the​ ​pamphlet.

4. On​ ​the​ ​second​ ​panel,​ ​write​ ​a​ ​one-paragraph​ ​overview​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Declaration​ ​of Independence.​ ​Be​ ​sure​ ​to​ ​describe​ ​its​ ​purpose​ ​and​ ​how​ ​the​ ​document​ ​is​ ​structured.

5. On​ ​panels​ ​three,​ ​four,​ ​and​ ​five,​ ​you​ ​will​ ​explain​ ​the​ ​principles​ ​of​ ​popular​ ​sovereignty, social​ ​contract,​ ​and​ ​natural​ ​and​ ​individual​ ​rights.​ ​Each​ ​panel​ ​should​ ​include​ ​a​ ​well-written paragraph​ ​that​ ​explains​ ​how​ ​the​ ​Declaration​ ​of​ ​Independence​ ​reflects​ ​a​ ​principle.​ ​Use​ ​at least​ ​one​ ​quote​ ​from​ ​the​ ​Declaration​ ​of​ ​Independence​ ​that​ ​illustrates​ ​the​ ​principle,​ ​for each​ ​of​ ​these​ ​panels​ ​(three​ ​quotes​ ​total).​ ​For​ ​example,​ ​if​ ​you​ ​chose​ ​to​ ​focus​ ​on​ ​the principle​ ​of​ ​popular​ ​sovereignty​ ​for​ ​panel​ ​three​ ​in​ ​your​ ​pamphlet,​ ​then​ ​that​ ​panel​ ​will include​ ​a​ ​quote​ ​from​ ​the​ ​Declaration​ ​of​ ​Independence​ ​that​ ​illustrates​ ​the​ ​principle​ ​of popular​ ​sovereignty​ ​and​ ​one​ ​well-written​ ​paragraph​ ​that​ ​explains​ ​how​ ​the​ ​Declaration​ ​of Independence​ ​reflects​ ​the​ ​principle​ ​of​ ​popular​ ​sovereignty.

6. On​ ​the​ ​final​ ​panel,​ ​write​ ​one​ ​paragraph​ ​to​ ​explain​ ​whether​ ​or​ ​not​ ​you​ ​think​ ​the Declaration​ ​of​ ​Independence​ ​upholds​ ​the​ ​political​ ​principles​ ​Americans​ ​value.​ ​To​ ​guide your​ ​evaluation,​ ​consider​ ​these​ ​questions.​ ​Does​ ​the​ ​Declaration​ ​of​ ​Independence​ ​reflect all​ ​the​ ​important​ ​principles​ ​you​ ​learned​ ​about​ ​in​ ​the​ ​lesson?​ ​Did​ ​the​ ​writers​ ​of​ ​the Declaration​ ​of​ ​Independence​ ​accomplish​ ​their​ ​goals?​ ​If​ ​you​ ​had​ ​been​ ​an​ ​American colonist,​ ​would​ ​you​ ​have​ ​supported​ ​the​ ​Declaration​ ​of​ ​Independence?​ ​Why​ ​or​ ​why​ ​not?
