Extra Credit: The Boston massacre

Below are two very different depictions of what took place at the scene of the Boston Massacre. they are written from two very different points of view. One of them is from a Patriot's point of view, the other is more likely from a British, or neutral, point of view. Using what we have learned in class (section 5.5 in your textbook), try and determine which is which. For extra credit, write up a brief statement (2 paragraphs) that explains which picture was drawn from which point of view. Your explanation must be supported with details from what we have read/discussed in class.

This statement must be neatly written on lined notebook paper, with correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. It must be turned in to me by Monday, Nov. 27th to get the extra credit.
