Write a study guide for students who are reading the declaration of independence for the first time.
assume they are reading this document in english class and already know the basic historical context.
the study guide will have two parts: an introduction that explains how language is used in the text, and 6
to 12 annotations that your reader to understand and begin to analyze the document as they read.
a word of warning: don't try to imitate the content of the annotations in the reading guide. that reading
guide contains many historical context annotations and explanations that are outside the scope of your
assignment. your job is to focus on language specifically and to share your own thoughts on the
declaration of independence.
