Welcome to Litsy!

National Constitution Center just released their interactive Declaration of Independence, to match their interactive US Constitution. So many people are claiming these documents, but few people take the time to read and understand them. These free educational resources are brilliant, and, if you ever find yourself in Philadelphia, be sure to visit the museum. It is a truly inspiring space. https://constitutioncenter.org/declaration

Latina and part of that heritage

This book brought humor to the journey of the Declaration of independence. It is very informative about how the document was treated and how it has been preserved

This is a great story to talk about the Declaration of Independence and it‘s significance to the United States

“It was the beginning of a journey, a journey that would take the Declaration through time and change the world.”

“Jefferson believed that people should be free to choose their own leaders.”

This book can link to my teaching in the classroom by fostering discussions about democracy, leadership, and the moral complexities in history, encouraging students to think critically about historical figures and their impact on society.

This book is a historical biography published in 2002 that falls under the genre of children's nonfiction. This engaging book explores the life of Thomas Jefferson, from his early years to his role as the third President of the United States and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence. It highlights his contributions to American history while also addressing his complex legacy, including his views on slavery.

Do I have some complaints & concerns? Yes , I do! Happy 4th of July to all who celebrate!
