Thursday, April 5th

Okay, today our agenda was:

• Review the lesson from the night before (background videos on the Separatists). Mr. M asked what questions the students may have had. 
• After reviewing the story of the Separatists, Mr. M focused on the decision facing the pilgrim group when they found themselves off of Cape Cod instead of Northern Virginia. The result was the Mayflower Compact.
• Students spent some time working together to translate the language of the Mayflower Compact into simple to understand words. 
• Finally, Mr. M showed the first clip from Desperate Journey: The Untold Story of the Mayflower. Students will watch the other two over the weekend.
