Jamestown Webquest #2!



Yesterday you took a turn as a colonist in the beginning of the Jamestown settlement. Today you will participate in another webquest. What information did you read yesterday that you can use to help you today? Do you see any differences or contradictions in information you read yesterday to information you read today? Why could that be?





While working today, take notes about-


Important survival information colonists would need to know in Jamestown
New information learned today
Information presented today that is different to something presented yesterday
Any questions you may have



I will collect your notes at the end of social studies today.
