History Buff Challenge: The Declaration of Independence

Can your students write "We hold these truths..." through "Safety and Happiness" from memory? This History Buff Challenge takes them from word bank support all the way to writing it on their own.

Students complete each challenge alone, without notes, and in one sitting. Check it off when they get it right!

What's included (8 pages):

• Fill-in with word bank
• Every-word blanks with or without a word bank
• Open space with or without a word bank (write it from memory)
• Fill-in answer key and full-text key
• Students can write it or recite it to you out loud

Perfect for: bell work, early finishers, review stations, quiz prep, and extra credit ("Can I have extra credit?" Do a History Buff Challenge!)

Want more? This challenge is part of the complete History Buff Challenges packet (61 pages): maps, presidents, founding documents, bonus challenges, fillable checklists, wall cards, and a History Buff Award certificate.
