"New Perspective" on Boston Massacre

Post date: Oct 5, 2011 7:42:11 PM

Last week, as students learned about propaganda, students were assigned the first standards-based work of the term. Students are creating a drawing which shows the Boston Massacre from the perspective that the colonists caused it. Students will need to follow the quality standards to meet or exceed expectations on the drawing and writing portions of the assignment.

Students will create a rough draft (Thursday in class and for homework for Red, Green, Blue, and Purple; Friday in class and for homework for Black)

In class on Friday (for Red, Green, and Blue) or Tuesday (for Purple and Black), students will have the class period to work on the final copy. The final copy will be due on THURSDAY 10/13 FOR ALL CLASSES.
