Yesterday in history we learned about the Battle of Concord and Lexington and the Battle of Bunker Hill. On the projector, Mr. Boyle had a map of the Battles that showed where the British and American troops were located and where they moved to. Using that, we were able to see how the battles played out and effected what the troops did next. Then we took a few notes on what we had just learned. Today we were handed a paper on the way into class and split up into groups based on that paper. In our groups we read papers about the Olive Branch Petition, the Common Sense Pamphlet or James Chalmers' Plain Truth. We had to figure out the purpose of each document and find quotes to prove it. We then got into another group with people who had all different documents and we shared the information we had with each other and then with the class.
