Hello, APUshers:
Here are the links that you'll be using to conduct research for the big debate.
Tomorrow, we'll finish the video, and begin the process of researching the background info.
• Boston Massacre information
http://www.crf-usa.org/bria/bria16_1.html#adams
http://www.bostonmassacre.net/trial/index.htm
• Crispus Attucks information
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part2/2p24.html
• Captain Preston’s account
http://odur.let.rug.nl/~usa/D/1751-1775/bostonmassacre/prest.htm
• Anonymous eyewitness account
http://www.bostonmassacre.net/trial/acct-anonymous1.htm
• John Adams’s trial speech
http://www.bostonmassacre.net/trial/acct-adams1.htm
• Theodore Bliss deposition
http://www.bostonmassacre.net/trial/d-bliss.htm
• Robert Goddard deposition
http://www.bostonmassacre.net/trial/d-goddard.htm
• Benjamin Burdick deposition
http://www.bostonmassacre.net/trial/d-burdick.htm
• Richard Palmes deposition
http://www.bostonmassacre.net/trial/d-palmes.htm
• John Hancock anniversary speech
http://www.bostonmassacre.net/trial/acct-hancock1.htm
Think of this like a DBQ...Use the information to form a thesis statement. Allow the evidence to work for you. By that, I mean let it make your case. Work with your team to create a convincing statement and conclusion. Here are some questions to consider:
Did the British really shoot for no reason?
Were the colonists, in fact, armed?
Did the Colonists provoke the British soldiers?
