A manuscript copy written by Thomas Jefferson represents the Declaration as drafted by the Committee of Five, before the Continental Congress revised it.

Michelle Phillips on 29 Sep 11Great to use after handing out student copies of the Declaration of Independence. Could use this draft to compare to the final draft that appears in their social studies book.

This is another terrific resource for social studies, in our presidents unit and our unit on the Revolutionary War. I like that you can complete a search for a particular word or phrase in a given document. I also love that students are able to search his books and architectural drawings as well, making Jefferson seem more like an actual man who had hobbies and talents.
