Declaration of Independence Marketing Campaign

Agenda:
1. Review of the Great Awakening and the Enlightenment
2. Work on Declaration of Independence Marketing Campaign
HW: The End and the Legacy of the Revolution (pg 16)

Today we took our 2008 knowledge and went back in time to 1776 to help
the Founders of our nation market the Declaration of Independence.
Working in groups of five or six, we developed a slogan, a jingle, and a
print ad to "sell" the idea of the Declaration to other Americans, the
British, and the French (whose help we need to win the Revolution).

You may not have gotten the homework sheet, so if not, the assignment
