Watch the film clip from "American Experience: The Pilgrims" about the first Thanksgiving.
It's 3 minutes, and it's jumpy until you toggle it to full screen.
Then, say more about the question we discussed in class: What is this film trying to communicate about how we've chosen to tell America’s “origin story”? Use examples from the clip, and be specific enough that I will know you watched the clip attentively.

These slides are for your group to record your responses as you explore two early maps of the Chesapeake Bay region (what Colin Woodard's map labels "Tidewater").

According to you all, the biggest culprits for the genocide of the Tainos people of Hispaniola were as follows: (from most to least blame-worthy):
1. The System of Empire
2. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella
3. Columbus and his Men (tied)
No one laid the blame of the Tainos themselves, and a couple people said "everyone except the Tainos."

My question for you is: So what? What are the modern day implications (if any) for figuring out who or what was most to blame for this tragedy?

This is your final reading assignment for Chapter 1. Nice work- you made it!
I have included scanned copies of the pages again, as well as a slideshow of the questions at the end of each sub-section.
As always, you may type onto the slides, or write in your notebook and send me pictures. Thanks!

1. First of all, I want you to know that I will keep reading assignments to fewer than 10 pages at a time.
2. I will also continue to include scanned copies of the textbook pages, just so we are very clear on which portions of the textbook you need to read.
3. You may either (1) type directly onto the attached slide show, or (2) write your notes down in a notebook and take pictures.
4. At the end of each section, please write a summary and reaction (1-2 sentences) of the big ideas of that section. So for this assignment, you should write 2 summaries total. There are places in the slide show for this, but you may also choose to write the summaries in your notebook.

1. Your job between now and our next class meeting is to read the first two sections of Chapter 1, "A People on the Move" in our textbook (I have attached the chapters here for your reference).

(1) an image and a text from the English expedition to Roanoke Island in 1588
(2) an image and a text from a popular book about "The New World" published in Europe (including England) in 1590
Your job is to compare and contrast these two sets of primary source documents, draw your own conclusions, and also ask some thoughtful questions!

Here is your writing prompt about "honest patriotism." I have also included the video and letter from John Lewis that we looked at together in class today, for your reference.
Please take a moment to look at the rubric included here, so you know what my expectations are for this writing. Thanks!

Please take this moment to read over the syllabus, and watch the video of me introducing the syllabus. Notice this post is in the form of a question. You have to watch the whole video to know what question you're supposed to answer! Haha! Your answer to the question counts as your signature of the syllabus.

Hello young historians! As we settle in to the school year, I need your help figuring out how to get you all a textbook (whether physical or digital). Please answer the following survey thoughtfully. Thanks!
