Wednesday, April 4th

Today we completed our look at Jamestown, Virginia and began our story of the Separatists as well. Here was our agenda:

• Mr.M began by wrapping up/reviewing the Jamestown Story. We also reviewed the homework questions from two nights ago - Jamestown and Werowocomoco.
• To complete the look at Jamestown, Mr.M talked about dead people....umm, the remains of the colonists at Jamestown. They are everywhere at the site. Bones have stories to tell, too. They are a great way to show how harrowing and dangerous life in the early 17th century was especially at a place like Jamestown. 
• Then Mr. M introduced the Story of the Separatists as we began our look at the final English settlement we will learn in this class - Plymouth, Massachusetts. Mr. M explained the background story on where the word "Separatists" comes from, who these people were, and why they were hated.

Thanks for visiting Jamestown!
