Group Observations

Once we learned what Primary and Secondary Sources were we began to focus on observing Paul Revere's engraving of the Boston Massacre.  In groups, students began to note key information and observations.  We discussed Revere's purpose for the engraving and why it was considered a piece of propaganda.  Students did a great job writing about many intricate details of the picture and their potential meaning.  Once groups had completed this task we put the engraving on the projector from www.masshist.org  and began to review the information together.
