Class Update: 10-9-12 and 10-10-12

And the revolution has begun! Yesterday in class we discussed how eyewitness accounts are not always as accurate as they may seem. we then saw that first hand in two ways. We watched a very interesting video on the science of eyewitness accounts and we took notes on different accounts of "The Shot Heard 'Round the World". It was pretty funny because every British (Regular) person said the Americans (Patriots) started it, while every American said it was the British. It reminded me of two children saying "He did it! Not me!". Today in class we talked about the Battles of Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill. It was amazing to see how many British casualties there were when they were the most powerful army in the world. We put together a video based on things we thought each side would have been "Googling" during the Battle of Lexington and Concord. For some reason the embed code isn't working but the link to our video is here.
