=﻿8.1 Opener Questions=

I started with the people because thats the first thing that popped out at me with the other picture and also i thought it was easiest. I noticed a woman dressed in black in the background crying, a dog watching it all, and wounded Colonists defending themselkes. In a I see/It means you are just explaining what you see and what you think it means & in our activity we just looked at a picture and copied it ourselves and then answered questions on what we drew. In this picture it looks as if the colonists were defensless and the British are Shooting at them for no reason. The artist who drew this is definitely in favor of the colonists and wants them to look innocent. Drawing a historical picture because its more fun and sometimes summarizing in words what you see is very difficult.media type="custom" key="9995331"
