Bunker's and Breed's Hill (The First Major Battle of the American Revolution)
Mr. M explained the situation around Boston after Lexington and Concord. We talked about what the war is really going to be about using the homework from the night before. Then, we learned about the first real battle of the war. Next, we went back outside and reenacted it! This is the "Lesson on the importance of holding the high ground." On the berm out back students learned 1. why it is important to hold the high ground - great vision and mobility, and 2. how hard it is to attack uphill (like the British did). It was a slaughter with gatorskin balls!
