Crime Scene: DO NOT ENTER!

Recently 4th graders  studied the Boston Massacre, we learned that during the BM British soldiers shot and killed 5 colonists........ HOWEVER on this day it was up to the 4th grade students to decide if it was self defense or murder. Students studied primary source documents, listened to different viewpoints from that day, and investigated different pieces of evidence in the Wonder Room. All students kept track of their notes in their detective journals and when we were done investigating they came back to the classroom and stated what they believed was the truth. Many students thought it was self defense and many thought it was murder but all of the students had great responses and evidence to support their reasoning. Here are a few pictures from the crime scene:

CASE CLOSED!
