Today's starter was: How do advertisers try to get you to buy things? What techniques do they use?
After our discussion, we read an Encyclopedia Brown mystery. We then reviewed the new taxes that Britain put in place to help pay for the French and Indian War, and the reaction to those taxes in the colonies.
We then spent quite some time on the Boston Massacre - we discussed the events and the poster drawn by Paul Revere.
We finished today by examining propaganda.
