The Battle of Bunker Hill

Today students place themselves in the shoes of British Governor/General Thomas Gage. 
Having failed to take colonial stores of weapons in Concord, losing 250 of the worlds finest troops to a bunch of pitch-fork wielding farmers, and speeding up the process of rebellion, General Gage found himself surrounded in Boston by colonial militia.  In an attempt to save face and keep Parliament from replacing him with General Howe, Gage makes an attempt to take Bunker Hill through brute force- yet another disaster! 
Your job today:  draw the map of Boston and the surrounding area, then create a battle plan for taking the hill successfully.  Good luck!  I hope you are smarter than General Gage...
