Break Up Letter Assignment

Now that we’ve read the Declaration of Independence, it’s your turn to get creative with it to show that you understand what it says.

Imagine that the colonies and Great Britain have been “dating” and rewrite the Declaration of Independence as a break up letter.

Feel free to get creative—make it as realistic a letter as possible.

Be sure to cover all EIGHT sections of the Declaration of Independence-- here’s how I’ll know you covered them: in the margins of your letter, write the number of the section of the DoI that that part of your letter corresponds to.

EXAMPLE:

You are such a worthless, lazy, good for nothing slob. I'm so sick of you that I can barely come home at night. I'm through. I'm tired of picking up your 5 dirty clothes off of the floor and making you dinner every night for you to just sit there and contribute nothing.

I realize our relationship is not what it should be. We have been just existing for but not truly bonding with each other. Our relationship has been dead for a long time and I am just hurting you by trying to continue with 3 something that just isn't there. I can't keep on "flogging a dead horse" and expecting something to come out of this relationship. It is just not going to happen and we both need to understand this.

Follow the Rubic to make certain you include all requirements of the project, including revision and editing of your letter.
