Tuesday, October 27: Today students created a soundtrack for the events of Jamestown. 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. We read the introduction and Chapter 1. Students created a journal with which they will chart the characters and plot and their thoughts as we read the novel. If you are absent, you may check out a novel for one day. See Ms. Nay to do so. Lastly, if time, students finished their 13 Colonies Maps on W. 52.
