Past Two Days: October 4th

Yesterday in history, we went to the computer lab and researched the topic we were given by Mr. Boyle and we got into groups based on who had the same topics. I was given the Townshend Taxes/Laws and the Boston Massacre. I learned that the Townshend Taxes were proposed by Charles Townshend, from Britain, in order to help pay for the soldiers. It was later considered to be adopted in the colonies as well. I also learned that the Boston Massacre wasn't, by definition, a true massacre. A massacre is an event or battle in which many people are killing, but during the Boston "Massacre," only 5 people were killed and 6 were injured.
Today, we presented the same topic in the form of an Edcafe lesson. We did additional research on the topic and took notes on it in order to lead a group discussion. We rotated around so that everyone got a chance to listen to another person's presentation that everyone was given the details about different events.
