What do you still need to understand?

How did dealing with counterarguments make the Declaration more effective than it would have been without?]]> 2019-12-03 18:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419238924 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719190 1) The purpose of the final paragraph is to officially declare America's independence. 
2) I felt I understood everything clearly. 
3) The counterarguments that Jefferson provided proved to be more effective in the way that no one would have any more points to argue, because he had already addressed them. ]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719190 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719264 1. The purpose of the final paragraph was to help unite  the United States and declare their independence from Britain and show that the United States is a new nation
2. I have nothing left to understand.
3. Dealing with counterarguments was effective because it showed both sides of the argument, not bias ]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719264 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719288 1. The purpose of the final paragraph of the declaration is used to  declare America's departure from Britain.
2. I still need to understand the very strong and dated vocabulary
3. Dealing with the counterarguments makes the Declaration of independence more effective because it makes the declaration an unbiased article, while also disproving the counter arguments]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719288 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719302 1) The purpose of the last paragraph is to state that the colonists are separating from the British. They are not asking for the separation they are telling. 
2) I still need to understand how he he proves that the counterarguments are not viable. 
3) Dealing with the counterarguments is more effective because because it shows that Jefferson understands why the British is not wanting them to separate, it makes him more persuasive because it makes it seem like Jefferson is more understanding. Also it makes it more effective because if he shuts down any arguments that people might have, no one will have anything to argue with him.]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719302 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719318 1)The purpose is to emphasize, appeal, explain, and declare their independence from Great Britain.
2) how many counter-claims/arguments are there?
3) It clarifies the little doubts that people might have showing that they have considered every situations and that what they are doing is for their own good.

2. I still need to understand  the basic truths. I know some but i do not know them all.

3.dealing with counter arguments made the declaration more effective and gave both sides of the argument, meaning more people would agree with it. He gave reasons for both, and used them to show why what was written in the declaration was the best option, or the right way to go about the topic. ]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719332 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719370 1. The purpose of the final paragraph is to declare and to justify the colonists' need of independence from Britain. 

2. I would like a little more light shed on specifically how Jefferson and the colonies are going to start a new beginning by themselves.

3. Dealing with counterarguments  help the reader further understand the initial arguments being made.]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719370 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719417 1) The purpose of the final paragraph is to finally state that they are independent and separating themselves from Britain and they are finally their own.
2) I still do not understand the "he".
3)It showed in a way both sides and the answers they had to what they would be asked and to completely explain why they were becoming independent.]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719417 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719457 1- The purpose of the last paragraph is to say that the people or citizens don't want to be colonies of Great Britian, and want to start a new country.
2 - I don't really have anything.
3 - Counterarguments make it more effective because it shows the other side of things, and not just one point of view.]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719457 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719474 1. The purpose of the final paragraph is to justify their independence. 
2. I still need to fully understand the purpose of why they started writing it.

2)  I think I still need to understand some of the vocab and why they started writing the Declaration
3)  Counterarguments made the Declaration more effective because it made it harder to argue and it also shows both sides of the argument.]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719477 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719494 1.The purpose of the final paragraph is to show their sincerity of starting a new nation and the will and drive they have for their rights. They're basically declaring that they are independent.
2. I still need to understand the little details because the language is still not that clear to me.
3. Since it has counterarguments, it's more effective because usually, it refutes the argument.

]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719494 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719499 1.) The purpose of the final paragraph is to declare the colonies independent from British rule, and  to start a new country with the colonies making up states.

2.) I do not really have anything.

3.) By dealing with counterarguments, the people drafting the declaration came together to explain to the king that they will no longer be under his power, and are separating in order to be free, and to make sure they have a fair life.]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719499 3665781 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719511 1.) The purpose of the final paragraph is to declare the colonies as independent from the British rule, and stating a new country with new laws and freedoms. 
2.) I cant think of anything that I don´t understand
3.) When you deal with counter arguments in your work, you eliminate given weakness, or rendition of counterclaims that would other wise win over people you need to be on your side.]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719511 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719559 1)The purpose of the final paragraph is to officially  denounce their separation from the ruling of Great Britain.
 2) I don't really have anything except that the language kind of confuses me.
3) Dealing with the counterarguments make the Declaration even more effective because it's showing both sides of the argument. This makes the other side have nothing to say because Jefferson has already thought it through.]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719559 228169 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719577 1. The purpose of the last paragraph is to recap what has been said and make a final "declaration" that they are seeking independence
2. I believe the only thing would be a few of the words' definitions still escape me so I just need to run over them more
3. It helps to silence the opposing side because when their arguments are already disproved there is nothing for them to argue with, thus making them silent.]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719577 481969 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719654 1. The purpose of the final paragraph is to finally gain the independence from Great Britain. 

2. I still need to understand the arguments that the Great Britain has made in order for Jefferson to make the counterarguments.

3.Dealing with the counterarguments help more it become more effective because it allowed that people to Jefferson's determination for the indepence. ]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719654 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719777 The purpose of the final paragraph is to detach themselves from Britain, for good. 

I need to understand who "he" is, if it is all if England or the King? Other than that I understand everything except for the vocab.

Dealing with counterarguments made it harder to argue with because they already have addressed the opposing arguments. ]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719777 387219 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719990 1. The last sentence is used to declare independence from the British Empire.
2. I think I understand the Declaration of Independence decently well.
3.By dealing with the counterarguments before they would have been asked makes it very difficult for the British to respond with a decent reply because the main points that the British might have used have already been dealt with.]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719990 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719995 (1) The purpose of the final paragraph was to announce their leaving from Great Britain and being their own independent nation.
(2) I still need to understand why they started writing the Declaration of Independence during a war and how that war started.
(3) Dealing with counterarguments make the Declaration more effective by addressing the other side and how they plan to "combat" the other side's arguments.]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419719995 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419720037 1) In the final Paragraph of the Declaration of Independence it is Jefferson's opportunity to recap what has been said and to stress the importance of the colonists becoming independent from England.
2) I understand a good amount of the Declaration of Independence but the language being used confuses me sometimes and words/phrases need to be cleared up in certain instances.
3) Counterarguments were effective in this piece because Jefferson addressed both sides of the argument. First, he explained why they should become independent, and then he stated why the British want to continue their rule over the colonists. Counterarguments are a very effective way to explain both sides of an argument and persuade people to believe your side of that argument.]]> 2019-12-04 16:02:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419720037 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419720369 1.) The purpose of the final paragraph is to announce that they are officially separated from Britain.
2.) What I still need to understand is why he uses "for" in replacement of legislation.
3.)

I still need to understand all the words that he's using and how he uses them because old English is weird.
It is makes it so that the people who don't agree with the Declaration have nothing to argue with because the arguments have already been thought through and answered. ]]> 2019-12-04 16:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419720482 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419720746 The purpose of the last paragraph in the Declaration of Independence is them telling the British that they are separating from them to form the USA.
I still don't understand who the "he" is in lines 34-104.
Since they dealt with counter arguments, their argument is much stronger since it shows them addressing to the other side and how they pan to combat them.]]> 2019-12-04 16:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419720746 4480461 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419721377 1. The purpose of the final paragraph is to officially declare and justify independence from Britain. 
2. I feel that I understand the Declaration of Independence pretty well. I probably still need to understand some of the vocabulary.
3.  Dealing with the counterarguments made it so there was absolutely no reason for the colonies not to separate from Britain. ]]> 2019-12-04 16:04:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419721377 https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419721705 1. The purpose of the final paragraph is to declare independence from the British. 

2. I believe that I understand the Declaration of Independence well enough and I don't have questions.

3.  Showing both sides and the counter arguments gives the Americans an advantage because they know what to expect and can give valuable reasons on why they need to separate.]]> 2019-12-04 16:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rswengel/o9vevpffxd1l/wish/419721705
