Many characters are interested in the Sorcerer’s Stone. Take one character’s point of view and write an argument about why they should have the Sorcerer’s Stone. Be sure to cite two events or quotes in your paragraph.
Then, write a second paragraph from another character’s point of view. Make the argument that explains why this character wants the Sorcerer’s Stone. What would they do with it? Why is it better that this character has it?
After you write your paragraphs, edit them so it is easy for someone else to read. We suggest reading each paragraph out loud so you can hear how it sounds. Then, you can make it sound even better!

Every July 4th, we celebrate America declaring independence from Britain. The American colonists became American citizens that day. However, it would take 7 years for the revolution to guarantee American freedoms. This tour of July 4th uses primary documents and virtual reality so you can explore the ideas and sights that the founding fathers shared.
Choose your adventures! (If no links appear below, please purchase access first).
We hope you are able to explore these places and ideas to come to a conclusion about what independence meant in 1776 and what it means today. If you would like to create a poster, story, drawing, or explanation of American Independence, you can share it with us here.
