They completed W. 57 by choosing a song for the following events/people: -The Virginia Company and Setting Sail -Arrival at Jamestown -The Gentlemen -The Indentured Servants -The Starving Time -The Arrival of Women -Success! The class then voted on their favorite songs, which will then be turned into a "movie". Students were then introduced to the novel we will be reading, Blood on the River.
