Boston Massacre Infographic Poster

This infographic can be used in a number of different ways. I use it when I am talking about the Boston Massacre from the colonists side. The infographic is definitely Pro-Boston.

The major theme behind my Boston Massacre lessons is, there are two sides to every story. I like to present the colonists view first using the propaganda lesson from my store.

This gives the students a good idea of what the "climate" was like in Boston with all of the soldiers, as well as an idea of what the massacre would look like today. Many of my students often say a "massacre" doesn't seem to fit when it's only 5 people. First, we talk about how "only" five people doesn't seem like that much unless you knew the person, which in a town of 16,000 you likely would have. It's a great addition to any lesson on the Boston Massacre and can lead to a number of different questions and discussions.
