American Revolution: Lexington and Concord: Who Fired First?

Students get to decide who think they fired first at the Battle of Lexington and Concord. This was the first battle in The American Revolution.

Students analyze four primary sources from The Battle of Lexington and Concord...2 from The British point of view and 2 from the colonist point of view. There are five questions to answer for each source for a total of 20 questions.

When they are done answering the questions, students get to decide who they think fired first by writing their claim and supporting their claim with evidence.

This could be done individually or in small groups as a mini-DBQ.
