SESSION 11-SEPTEMBER 8 & 9Declaration of Independence
1. Listen to the Declaration of Independence
2. Loaded LanguageThe language of the Declaration was carefully chosen. Find examples of words Jefferson uses that are charged with emotion.
3. Looking Closely at One SectionAlthough this is an incredibly important document, the language is outdated. Your group must take one section and figure out the gist. You will write this as a text message that Jefferson could have sent. Texts are expensive, so you have only 25 “words” to text.
PreambleDeclaration of Rights
Charges Against the KingCriticism of British People
Conclusion
4. Discussion QuestionsWork with your partner to answer the questions. Be prepared to discuss in the full group.

What effect does the phrase “self-evident” have in sentence 2? How does that phrase help support the speaker’s position?
Why does the speaker begin with an appeal to “respect” as a value before stating the claim?
Consider the speaker’s appeal to ethos, logos, and pathos. Identify and explain two for each.
Read carefully the second and third “truths.” At that time, was it a historical fact that the governments were instituted for the purpose the speaker states? What is the rhetorical purpose of such a statement?
![Page 14: Us rev day 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081419/555a53dbd8b42ad56a8b4e2c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Explain how the speaker uses facts to appeal to logos.
Explain the effect of the rhetorical parallelism with which Jefferson concludes the Declaration.
How does Jefferson explain the reason for a formal declaration of independence? Why do you think it was necessary for Jefferson to state the “causes which impel them to the separation”?
