What is a Foundational Document?? The root of this phrase is the term “foundation” which is essentially something we can safely and securely build upon. A Foundational Document is a document (letter, speech, movie, etc. are included in this) that allows us to move forward to the next level from our current state. For instance, The Gettysburg Address worked in tandem with the Emancipation Proclamation as Foundational Documents that led our country forward out of slavery. They helped us reach the next level. What are some other examples?

Example (No you may NOT use) (movie) “The Breakfast Club” – This movie is incredibly well-known and highly revered as being a relatively accurate depiction of the nature of cliques and stereotypes in high school. This film drew attention to the classism and social inequities that existed in present day high schools, solidifying and validating this structure. For this speech: I will NOT simply summarize the movie I will introduce it and give my brief overview of the theme or central idea of the film. I will justify its value as a foundational document (multiple reasons why it would qualify in my opinion) I will use argumentative structures that are relevant and effective for this task (i.e. anecdotes, cause and effect, sequencing, connection to societal structure, etc.)
