We started class working with the reading groups formed yesterday. Students worked together to fill-out the Venn diagram, sorting events as either the fault of the Colonists or British.
Venn Diagram and Writing Assignment
After groups completed the Venn, students weighed the different points of view and made a decision whether the Colonists or British were at fault.
Next, students wrote a one paragraph response responding to the writing prompt (see above). Students had about 10 minutes to respond to this prompt.
I then gave a short lesson on the Tea Act, colonial responses, all the way through the battle of Lexington and Concord. (see yesterday's blog for PowerPoint and note organizer)
At the end of class we watched a short video clip.
Homework is to finish the paragraph response about the Boston Massacre.
