    This micro teach lesson plan aims to teach 8th grade students about the Declaration of Independence. The lesson will have students identify the four main parts of the Declaration - the preamble, declaration of human rights, list of grievances, and resolution of independence - and their purposes. Students will receive copies to label the parts and take notes. They will then participate in partner activities like discussing reasons for American independence and writing 10-word summaries of what they learned. Finally, the students will be assessed on their understanding of the key people, themes, rights, and purposes outlined in the Declaration of Independence.
