At the beginning of class I gave students a warm-up assignment as I collected their homework. I forgot to collect the homework in period 1 and will do so tomorrow.
In the warm-up, students examined Paul Revere's engraving of the Boston Massacre and recorded information about it. We then discussed the questions.

Next, we watched a short video which reviewed a few of the Acts we have examined already.

I then gave a lecture on a few more taxes instituted by the British, and the Boston Massacre. Students recorded information onto their graphic organizers.

We then watched the video "The Story of Us" on the taxes and Boston Massacre
Video- Story of Us (watch approximately 20:00-30:00)
At the end of class I split students into groups of three and gave them a reading on the Boston Massacre. As they read the story they wrote any key terms/names into the margin on the left, and recorded any information about who caused the incident in the margin on the right.

Homework is to finish reading the article on the Boston Massacre and record information into the margins.
