There's a lot going on this week. We will complete the text book lesson on Plymouth and the Pilgrims. You should spend some time completing your notebook activities and preparing if for a notebook check (rubric). You may use your notebook for the test, however, it will be of little use if it is not complete.
You need to study the map of the 13 colonies.
I will also be introducing a Timeline Project. Use pages 36 and 37 in your notebook to remind yourself of important events in the history of Jamestown and Plimoth. Your timeline needs to be measured to an accurate scale. We will begin with a "sloppy copy" or rough draft.

| Create a Timeline of Jamestown and Plimoth Colonies which is measured, illustrated and annotated. measured: The timeline should be measured to a precise scale. (Use a ruler.) The marks on your timeline should be evenly spaced, and accurately measured. Write the correct date at each interval. illustrated: 5 of the events in your timeline should be illustrated (photos, maps, drawings, portraits). You may find illustrations on the web. annotated: Each illustration needs to be accompanied by a complete paragraph which summarizes the significance of the event. |
Your timeline should contain 10 significant events in the history of Jamestown and Plimoth colonies. Choose the events which you believe are the most important and vital to an understanding of the period. Select illustrations which are attractive, relevant, and appropriately sized. Your paragraphs should be thoughtful and written in complete sentences which include names of people involved, the actions that occurred and their significance.
