Mr. Ewing's History Classes

Students read the Declaration of Independence today.  We walked through the portions of it and what the meanings of each section were.  Students are asked to rephrase this document against the tyrants of their life (either their parent/guardians or their teachers).  They were asked to have a minimum of 10 grievances/complaints against these tyrants and these should use emotional language - the goal is to evoke support from those who read it. If this is not finished in class, this is homework.  Additionally, students should be working on the research for their quarter 2 essay.

We started off with a review of homework and the causes of the Boston Massacre.  We discussed viewpoints of an event and how different viewpoints can result in different opinions of an event. Students then did multiple readings about events that occurred prior to the start of the American Revolution. Homework: Students should complete the readings and questions that were started in class.

Explain what you think happened on March 5th, 1770.  Use evidence from class and be sure to include reasoning as to WHY you believe YOUR narrative is correct and others are incorrect.
