Below this post is the link to the video. It is a video using the pictures from the visit from the reenactors.

I just created a short video of the reenactment pictures using this website. It was amazingly easy. (If I can do it, anyone can) However, this video is only 30 seconds since it was the free version of the website. You can locate the video on the link below this post.

Reenactment with Students
Today our class along with Kerri's and Bob's went outside to do a reenactment of April 19th.. The fourth grade were the Regulars and the 5th were the Militia. We lined up the students shoulder to shoulder and several 5th graders read documented testimony from both sides on who shot first. We all discussed the importance of point of view and how both sides were convinced the other side shot first. Bob and Kerri took several pictures and I think it was a worthwhile activity.

Completing the Blog...(Technical side)
This weekend, I wrote the final 2 lesson plans and published them to my blog. It was a learning process since I have never had a blog before. It took me awhile to learn how to add pages and photographs but after several attempts, I was finally successful. In addition, Bob Doherty is a great technical resource and really helped me a lot through the technical process. Katie also sent me clear and simple instructions that I was able to follow. The whole process of creating a blog has been a challenging but interesting one. It has forced me to use and learn more technology which I really should be doing.
