Session+8


 * 8.1: Opener**

1). Where did you start your drawing? Why? I started my drawing doing the buildings because i thought they would be easier to draw rather than the people because I am not that goood of a drawer.

2). What details did you notice in this picture through trying to draw them yourself? I noticed that there was a dog in the picture when before when i seen the picture i did not see the dog.

3). How does this compare to an "I see/It means" activity? What is similar and different? This compares to an i see it means activity because you have to take time looking into the picture and whats in it and what does it represent. in a way they are different because we only drew what we saw and didnt need to know what they drawing meant.

4). Identify bias in this picture. Something i found bias in the picture is that the red coats were the ones to start the fight.

5). Which do you prefer: drawing an historical picture or summarizing in words what you see? Why?

I would rather summarize in words what i seen because i find it easier than drawing to me.

**8.2: Bias in Pictures - Comparison**

What time of the day does it look like this event is occurring? It looks like this event is occuring during the night.

Describe the actions of the British soldiers to the right of the picture, what are they doing? The British are shooting and stabbing the colonist on the left side.

Describe the crowd to the left of the picture, what is happening to them? The crowd on the left are trying to attack the British with clubs and axes but are also getting shot and stabbed by the British

Identify Captain Preston and describe what he appears to be doing Captin Preston is standing holding his weapon towards the sky not doing anything.

What could be the reason for these two very different pictures? two people with two different point of view could have drawn these pictures and maybe thats whay these two pictures are very different.

If you looked at this picture how would you describe the events of the 5th of March? i would describe the events of the 5th of March as foolish actions taken by the colonist because in this picture it looks like they were the ones provoking the British and made them react.

Do you believe this picture depicts a massacre? Why/why not? I do not believe this picture depicts a massacre because is looks more like a fight because the colonist had weapons too in this picture and not like in the other one.

List examples of bias in this picture. **8.3: Further points of view on the Boston Massacre**
