Day 5 Post

Yesterday in class we talked about who fired the "shot heard around the world."  We read things written by various people and they really just accused the other side.  There was one British guy who said it was the British, but he also said that he couldn't really tell, so he's pretty unreliable.  We also watched a ted talk about witnesses and how reliable they really are.  Spoiler Alert:  Not very.

Today in class we talked about the Battles of Lexington and Concord and the Battle of Bunker Hill.  We watched an animation about it with fabulous music that made it nice and intense.  We also found out that they kept cows on the hills.  I asked Mr. Boyle if the soldiers killed the cows and he said that if the cows got in the way then they probably died.  Thaaaaaaaaat makes me sad.  I like cows.  After we talked about the cows... I mean, the battles, we made a search thing about them.  That will be posted eventually, but it took a really long time to load.
