Hi Ms. D,
This movie relates to the lesson about the signers of the DOI and Shirin Ebadi. The Vietnam soldiers, the signers and Shirin Ebadi all risked their lives for their causes.

I was watching Family Guy and saw this clip about the Signing of the Declaration of Independence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uraJnyLfhkA
Dani, No problem. Too late to apologize. It’s in one of our blog posts. 🙂
Mrs DiGangi,
I was absent one of the days after spring break so I probably did. Sorry, which video the parody or the boston tea party?
Hi Dani, We watched this video in class and it was well liked by everyone even Mr. Ryan. Were you absent that day?
This link is about the Boston Tea party and really helped me understand what the colonists did.
I noticed my link didn’t go through so here it is : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZfRaWAtBVg
This is a link to “Too late to Apologize” it is a paraody. The new words to the song is about the DOI. I found it very creatice and helped me.
Morgan I just watched the video you posted. This reminds me of Shirin Ebadi too. Good connection.
The signers and Shirin Ebadi remind me of the movie “Milk.” It was a true story based off of people who stood up for gay rights. They risked their lives and many of them got injured while protesting and often got threats for protesting. Soon enough they were successful with their protesting and won the rights for gays. Here’s the tailor.
