With the writing of the Declaration of Independence and the colonists’ victory in the American Revolution, a new nation was born—the United States of America. A few short years later, the structure of the government of the new country was put forth in the writing of the US Constitution. These actions created a new country and a new government for the people living in the former colonies. Before the revolution, colonies were subject to a monarch across the sea; now, they were independent. Freedom from the monarchy and the establishment of a new republic meant that people had new responsibilities as citizens of a new country. Imagine you are living in the year 1800. Think about what you consider to be the five most important responsibilities of being a citizen. Then, use presentation software to create a presentation instructing your peers in this new country how to be good citizens. Your presentation must include: descriptions of at least five responsibilities of being a good citizen a discussion of why each of these responsibilities is important examples of ways people can undertake each of these responsibilities proper grammar and spelling at least one image per slide a title slide Submit your presentation along with this activity for your teacher to review.
