Students in F3 have been busy since November getting into character as colonists in 18th century Boston. They have struggled with taxes from Great Britain without representation in Parliament, they have had soldiers live in their homes. The Boston Massacre was on March 5, 1770 and many of the students wrote about witnessing this event.
