British Troops:
From the information summarize what happened in the Battles of Lexington and Concord from your individual angle. For example as a soldier in the British Troops what occured according to the British? Who was involved? Why did the battle happened? Who was responsible? What was the outcome? Discuss your findings with your fellow British soldier and discuss what it would have been like to see these battles in the 1700's. Together write a letter to a member of your family (a pretend family member) on what happened.
American militia:
From the information summarize what happened in the Battles of Lexington and Concord from your individual angle. For example as a soldier in the American militia what occured according to the Colonist? Who was involved? Why did the battle happened? Who was responsible? What was the outcome? Discuss your findings with your fellow militia man and think about what it would have been like to see these battles in the 1700's. Together write a letter to a member of your family (a pretend family member) on what happened.
Now get back into your groups of four. Discuss the differences and similarities between the British and American letters.
