Multilingual Learners
Have students underline the first wordof each question. Explain that who, what, and why are often used to begin questions in English. Help students brainstorm other question starters (when, where, how, etc.).
Striving Readers
Guide students to understand that when the text mentions “enemies” of the Declaration, it doesn’t mean people opposed to the document but natural forces that can damage it.
Enrichment Idea
Have each student come up with an original question about the Declaration and research the answer.
