Picking Sides

Students broke into groups and discussed their observations.  They now needed to begin observing other primary sources to determine if they thought that the British troops had in fact attacked the innocent and defenseless colonists or had the colonists planned to stir up some trouble.

Students began to compare different sources depicting this event and would need to independently determine an opinion.  Students read source samples from The National Park Service, as well as, online at www.masshist.org .







Student leaders take notes  and write all important information for the groups.
