Was Captain Thomas Preston guilty of 1st degree murder? Or is there enough reasonable doubt to acquit him of this charge? Your selection of witnesses and how you choose to present them will help answer this question. The winning team will earn extra credit on their (individual) summative assessments (next week).

"What Really Happened in the Boston Massacre?"

Read and ANNOTATE this packet for our next class and bring any questions to ask. Pay special attention to the embedded primary source, "Deposition of Captain Thomas Preston", as this will become our "baseline" testimony. Though this is a formative assessment, failure to read closely will certainly have a deleterious effect on your next summative assessment (TBA).
