An immersive, extremely well-designed, easy to navigate, self-paced "investigation" of the events surrounding the Boston Massacre. Featuring primary source documents and information that makes students really think about the events that transpired. The rest is up to them! The images and eyewitness accounts are designed to explore what happened from multiple perspectives, challenging students to make up their own mind about what really happened. Do the images and personal accounts match up? Why or why not? Where are the biases? Playing as a "Special Agent," students are presented with information about the massacre, the trials that followed, and five images about the event. This activity is very text heavy, but it's also very easy to use. Students could work individually or in teams, then present their findings. Even if you are not studying US History, this interactive is useful for the analytical approach it brings to the subject. Check it out!
