Thomas Paine's Common Sense


For homework (due Tuesday) read the excerpts from Thomas Paine's famous political pamphlet titled Common Sense. All you have to do is put them into plain words, words we would use today. I just want you to get a sense of what he was saying. Because what he says fires people up to go ahead and actually declare independence from the British Empire! If you have any questions just leave me a comment. (NO, don't do the play/sketch thing - I crossed it out.
