Introduction
Your introduction should give your readers some idea why you wrote the story, what it is about (but not too much!), something about the research you did, and something to get them to want to read the story!
Here are some ideas of what to include:
What ? (e.g. historical fiction)
Why? (e.g. immigration related)
What Other Stuff Might Be of Interest?
genre — journal, story, time travel, etc.
Made-up character — a little about them perhaps? Name?
How did you start learning about this?
Tell something about the research you did (e.g.primary and secondary sources. Mention perhaps Mourt’s Relation)
historical background (Separatists etc.)
Going to Plimoth
Final sentence or two to really get your readers to want to start reading!
Hi everyone,
Here are the Pilgrim vocabulary words that we shared with each other in class on Monday. I encourage you to add more words to your own list that you find interesting, or to share words that you are not sure what part of speech they are. Then as a class, we can continue to discuss them together. Mr. Peters

Please read your previous post (on what you expected the trip to be like) and then write a good post reflecting on the trip. Here are some ideas:
What surprised you.
What was as you expected.
What were the different activities like (e.g. The Wampanoag Homesite, the Mayflower II, and the 1627 Pilgrim Village).
What about the evening activities? (e.g. dressing like a Pilgrims, quill writing, games, houses)
What about the colonial dinner?
Anything else?

Next week we are going on our overnight trip to Plimoth Plantation. What do you expect? Please write a thoughtful post about what you anticipate. When you get back you will read it and add to it how they were met and how things were perhaps different from what you expected.

Okay, folks, you did a great job today annotating (along with Ms. Stokien) the first section of the packet.
Now you need to do the rest in preparation for our Pilgrim Jeopardy game!
Here are your group assignments. See Ms. Edinger or Ms. Stokien if you need a reminder as to what section you are doing.
Group 1: c15mb1, c15lk, c15fl (white cards)
Group 2: c15af, c15lk1, c15jg (yellow cards)
Group 3: c15sf, c15ss, c15os (purple cards)
Group 4: c15ck, c15md, c15hu (green cards)
Group 5: c15zb, c15ec, c15am (pink cards)
Group 6: c15bw, c15of, c15ai (blue cards)
As a group:
1. Go through your section and read it carefully (annotate and underline as necessary) and be sure EVERYONE in your group understands the whole section. If you are doing this during Lab and some of your group members are missing, go ahead and do it on your own and then go back over it with your group members when they are available. You must ALL be experts on your section for the game.
2. Once you’ve finished reading, as a group, come up with AT LEAST FIVE good questions and answers from your section (and write them down on scrap paper).
Ex. (From first section Ms. Stokien did with you);
Question: What was the third religious group to form (in England) and what was their main goal?
Answer: The Puritans/Separatists who wanted a more “pure” form of religion.
3. Check your questions/answers with Ms. Stokien or Ms. Edinger.
4. Write each question on a card (question on one side and answer on the other).
5. Decide on point value for each question. (Hard, Medium, Easy).
As an individual:
Carefully read the rest of the packet so you know it and can play the Jeopardy Game. You may get questions from other sections than your own.

We’ve just finished reading a few pages of Mourt’s Relation, one of the primary sources about and by the original Mayflower passengers. We “translated” the old words and strange spelling to figure it all out. Then we each took a line or two and illustrated it. Now each student has scanned in his/her illustration, saved it, and then put it on his/her blog. That’s c15ss’s above (as her blog isn’t working right at the moment). Do check the other blogs out to see the kids’ Mourt illustrations. They are wonderful! (And remember that that the spelling is all exactly as it was in 1622!)
