Session 8

=8.1: Questions: = 1). Where did you start your drawing? Why? 2). What details did you notice in this picture through trying to draw them yourself? 3). How does this compare to an "I see/It means" activity? What is similar and different? 4). Identify bias in this picture. 5). Which do you prefer: drawing an historical picture or summarizing in words what you see? Why? Answers:

1. I started at the building in the far background, because ﻿I thought it would be easier to start from the farther point, and work forward. 2. The buildings were very detailed. 3. It compares to an "I see/It means" activity because we were told just to draw anything that stands out to you and start from there. 4. In the picture I had no idea what was going on. I think that something had to provoke ﻿﻿﻿ the British soldiers to get them to fire 5. I did like the whole idea of re-drawing, because I feel like I got a better understanding of the picture, and what was going on at that time.

== = = =8.2: **Compare Paul Revere's engraving to Alonzo Chappel's lithograph of the Boston Massacre by answering these questions for each.** = This event is occuring at night time. The British troops are trying to protect the captain. A lot of people that died are in the floor. I think he is trying to stop the soldiers. The reason for these two different pictures is to show different times of the massacre and how each troop is educated to do their job. The events of the 5th of March were more calm then the other. Yes, this picture still depicts a massacre because a lot of people still dieing. Some examples of bias in this picture are that the British were attacked.
