    **What is copywork, and how do I use it in my

    childs education?

    Copy work is a great way to teach your children. By copying passages from Great

    Works of literature or history, children learn many areas of Language Arts. Children

    have the opportunity to be exposed to great writers or historical events, while learningSpelling, Punctuation, Grammar, Vocabulary, and Creative Writing from the

    Masters. Most Classical Education programs recommend daily copywork as an

    intricate part of educating your children, quite often in place of many of the traditional

    Language Arts programs listed above.

    By copying passages 2-3 days per week (or more), your children will come to learn

    and possibly even memorize some of the greatest literature from our history. While

    penmanship is important, the knowledge that they are gaining through the copywork is

    what is most important.

    However, do encourage your children to take pride in their penmanship. Also, instruct

    them in the importance of the art of Spelling, Punctuation, Vocabulary, Grammar,

    and Creative Writing. With some practice, they will begin to imitate these in their

    own personal writing.

    **How do I use THIS notebook?

    Inside this book, you will find the entire text of the Declaration of Independence, in itsoriginal format. You will also find an article, from an unknown author, which

    discusses What happened to the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The

    purpose of including this article is so that your child will really consider the

    magnitude of this document and what it cost the signers. The document is broken into

    32 bite-sized pieces so that there is a section to copy at each session. Also, there are

    many other interesting facts and definitions throughout the notebook. Your child is

    not required to copy that portion (but he can!). These tidbits are merely for deeper

    understanding of the document and its signers. Have your child/children read each

    section, and think about/discuss what it means. Have your child/children copy that

    section, using his or her best penmanship. At twice per week, this notebook will last

    for 16 weeks. At three times per week, it will last a little more than 10 weeks. Many

    parents choose to have their children do copy work daily, in which case, this notebook

    will last for 32 school days.

    It is NEVER too early (or too late) to begin teaching the appreciation of the Great

    Literary Artists and historical works.

    (Taken from the Public Domain documents: www.archives.gov(original spelling and punctuation is unchanged and may

    appear strange compared to modern English. Please accept it

    as a historical document, worthy of study.)

    About this document:

    The Declaration of Independence: We all know the phrase, and most know that itwas signed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 4th of 1776. But how many of usknow these facts: The original signing of the document on July 4th, 1776 wassigned ONLY by John Hancock of Massachusetts (as President of the Continental

    Congress) and Secretary Charles Thomson. It was amended, resigned on August 2,1776 by most members of congress, and others would sign later with ThomasMcKean being the last to sign January 18 , 1777.

    What we hope you will glean from this copy learning is the magnitude of thisdocument. We desire to share the incredible cost associated with its signing, butequally important is the substance. While doing the copywork, we hope tostimulate your own thoughts and feelings about the reason for the document.What were the causes that brought about this great rebellion to the British Crown?Why do we look upon this rebellion with respect, and yet fear the thought of amodern day rebellion? The signers pledged to one another, and thus to the peopleof The Colonies, their Lives, their Fortunes and their Sacred Honor.

    Introduction:

    As you read, copy, and learn from this copying adventure, hold close to yourthoughts the following article written by an unknown author regarding the cost ofour forefathers. When you postulate our government and that of other countries,

    remember what it takes to free a nation, and remember the motivation of theseotherwise ordinary men. We need to contemplate our own beliefs and makedecisions about what it would take for us to sign such a document. Please read thiswith sincerity and gravity. Consider your own home, brothers and sisters, mothersand fathers and friends

    The Article is as follows:

    Fifty-six American leaders in the Continental Congress stepped forward to sign the final document,at enormous personal risk.

    Tragically, many Americans today have no idea of the great sacrifices that were made by theFounders to win their freedom.

    What Happened to the Signers?

    Five signers were captured by the British and brutally tortured as traitors. Nine fought in the War for

    Independence and died from wounds or from hardships they suffered. Two lost their sons in theContinental Army. Another two had sons captured. At least a dozen of the fifty-six had their homes

    pillaged and burned.

    What kind of men were they? Twenty-five were lawyers or jurists. Eleven were merchants. Ninewere farmers or large plantation owners. One was a teacher, one a musician, and one a printer. These

    were men of means and education, yet they signed the Declaration of Independence, knowing fullwell that the penalty could be death if they were captured.

    In the face of the advancing British Army, the Continental Congress fled from Philadelphia to

    Baltimore on December 12, 1776. It was an especially anxious time for John Hancock, the President,

    as his wife had just given birth to a baby girl. Due to the complications stemming from the trip to

    Baltimore, the child lived only a few months.

    William Ellery's signing at the risk of his fortune proved only too realistic. In December 1776,

    during three days of British occupation of Newport, Rhode Island, Ellery's house was burned, and allhis property destroyed.

    Richard Stockton, a New Jersey State Supreme Court Justice, had rushed back to his estate near

    Princeton after signing the Declaration of Independence to find that his wife and children were living

    like refugees with friends. They had been betrayed by a Tory sympathizer who also revealed

    Stockton's own whereabouts. British troops pulled him from his bed one night, beat him and threw

    him in jail where he almost starved to death. When he was finally released, he went home to find his

    estate had been looted, his possessions burned, and his horses stolen. Judge Stockton had been sobadly treated in prison that his health was ruined and he died before the war's end. His surviving

    family had to live the remainder of their lives off charity.

    Carter Braxton was a wealthy planter and trader. One by one his ships were captured by the British

    navy. He loaned a large sum of money to the American cause; it was never paid back. He was forcedto sell his plantations and mortgage his other properties to pay his debts.

    Thomas McKean was so hounded by the British that he had to move his family almost constantly.

    He served in the Continental Congress without pay, and kept his family in hiding.

    Vandals or soldiers or both looted the properties of Clymer, Hall, Harrison, Hopkinson andLivingston. Seventeen lost everything they owned.

    Thomas Heyward, Jr., Edward Rutledge, and Arthur Middleton, all of South Carolina, were capturedby the British during the Charleston Campaign in 1780. They were kept in dungeons at the St.

    Augustine Prison until exchanged a year later.

    At the Battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr. noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken

    over the family home for his headquarters. Nelson urged General George Washington to open fire on

    his own home. This was done, and the home was destroyed. Nelson later died bankrupt.

    Francis Lewis also had his home and properties destroyed. The British jailed his wife for twomonths, and that and other hardships from the war so affected her health that she died only two years

    later.

    "Honest John" Hart, a New Jersey farmer, was driven from his wife's bedside when she was near

    death. Their thirteen children fled for their lives. Hart's fields and his grist mill were laid waste. Forover a year he eluded capture by hiding in nearby forests. He never knew where his bed would be the

    next night and often slept in caves. When he finally returned home, he found that his wife had died,his children disappeared, and his farm and stock were completely destroyed. Hart himself died in

    1779 without ever seeing any of his family again.

    Such were the stories and sacrifices typical of those who risked everything to sign the Declaration of

    Independence. These men were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken menof means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and

    unwavering, they pledged:

    "For the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of the Divine Providence,we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."

    #1 IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

    The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

    When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve

    the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among

    the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Natureand of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires

    that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

    Definition: Despot ( www.dictionary.com )

    A ruler with absolute power.

    A person who wields power oppressively; a tyrant.

    #4 Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be

    changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn,

    that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right

    themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long

    train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a

    design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to

    throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

    interrupt our connections and correspondence.

    Why is John Hancocks signature so prominent?A decree had been delivered from England in early 1776 offering a large reward for the capture of

    several leading figures. Hancock was one of them. On signing the Declaration he commented, "The

    British ministry can read that name without spectacles; let them double their reward."

    Conversation Piece:First you need to obtain a copy of the Signing of the Declaration ofIndependence. If you look closely at the lower right-hand corner of the painting, you willnotice that John Adams is standing proudly with his foot on top of Thomas Jefferson's.The reason is that because of their constant feuding, John Adams offered the painter abribe to paint his foot on top of Jefferson's to get the better of him.
