In this interactive activity, students design their own signature in the bold spirit of John Hancock using different pen styles, effects, and Revolutionary War stamps. After creating their masterpiece, they can “publish” it by placing their signature directly onto a section of the Declaration of Independence—just like Hancock did. The challenge blends creativity with history, helping students connect personally to the courage and symbolism of signing the Declaration.
