April 5-9

I have read The Children's Story by James Clavell to the students. As a class we have discovered the meaning of the following words.
1. pledge-promise, swear, or vow
2. allegiance-loyalty
3. republic- democratic government
4. indivisible-inseparable or united
5. liberty-freedom
6. justice-fairness
The students should rewrite The Pledge using the synonyms discussed in class. Students should use the nouns instead of the pronouns "it" and "all." I have given students computer paper on which to rewrite The Promise and then decorate it using colored pencils or the assignment can be done on the computer.
