Summary of Class 10/11-10/12

On Thursday, October 11th, Mr.Boyle talked and informed us on the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and Bunker Hill. He talked about it while we took notes. To help us with what happened, he showed us a animation on the computer. After that, he had one person out of the people we were sitting with take out their smart phone. We went on the website that he told us to go on and then we typed in a couple searches that we would have looked up if we wanted to know more about those events. We were able to choose images, maps, and web search. Half the class was assigned to do Lexington and Concord and the other was to do Bunker Hill. After that, we got to put in what type of music we wanted. It was supposed to come out as a youtube video, but unfortunately ours ended up not working. On Friday, we got with the people that had the same article that we got walking into class. I got the Olive Branch Petition. We were to read the article and discuss it with our group. After that, we were assigned numbers and we got with a different group, in which each person read a different article. Each person talked about their article and we took notes. We then went over all of it as a class. each article described the different solutions that people had on whether or not the colonists should have broken away from the British.
