Prompt #1 - The Declaration of Independence

In class, we had a great summary discussion of the arguments presented in the Declaration of Independence. The following is the journal prompt for your first entry.  Please go ahead and upload this entry and then, through the class blog, explore other classmates' entries.  Please leave a comment on at least two classmate blogs.

The prompt:  "What does independence mean to you?"

Your entry can be personal, creative -- the response is completely open-ended and up to you.  I look forward to reading your entries and to our next session.
