    Declaration of Independence Project

    Students will use their knowledge of the Declaration of Independence to choose and create ONE of the
    projects below. All projects must be neat and complete.

    Second Declaration of Independence


    1. Imagine in the future, the President of the United States declares he is king, disbands Congress,
    eliminates the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and declares martial law upon American citizens.
    During this time, the Third Continental Congress comes together and nominates you to write the
    Second Declaration of Independence. Using Jefferson’s original Declaration for format, style and
    inspiration, write your own declaration against a tyrannical president. You may quote some of
    Jefferson’s original statements. Must be original and creative!!!

    Illustrated Declaration of Independence


    2. Create an illustrated Declaration of Independence. This can include collages, illustrations, comics,
    cartoons, graphic design, and most other art styles. Present this in the form of a poster, book,
    booklet, fashion show display board, or other medium.

    Illustrated Children’s version of the Declaration of Independence


    3. Create an illustrated children’s version of the Declaration of Independence that rephrases key
    excerpts from the real document. Your version should be written in simple, concise language that a
    third grader could read and understand.

    Declaration of Independence Multimedia Presentation


    4. Create a video or slideshow of the entire Declaration of Independence. Include images that
    illustrate the meaning of statements, words, or concepts within the document.

    world (18th Century) using modern technology (video, internet, TV).

    Declaration of Independence Creative Idea


    6. Create a project idea that is based on the Declaration of Independence that displays your
    knowledge of the document. Share this idea with your teacher before beginning the project.
