Introduction

• Today is September 6th, 1620. You are a pilgrim
  child that is about to board the Mayflower Ship
  as it prepares to sail from England to the New
  World. This journey will be both exciting and
  scary for you and your family. What will happen
  on your journey? Will you be ready to start a new
  life in the New World?

4
Task

• You are one of the first children to travel to
  the New World and you have a very important job!
  You must keep a journal of what happens to you
  and your family during the first year in the New
  World.
• In order to do this, you and a partner will be
  researching for facts, dates, photographs, and
  other interesting details you find to put in your
  journal. The journal will be presented to other
  children to gain and overall understanding of
  life in the New World.

Process (Contd)

• Your second step will be to create a journal. It
  should have 10 entries that will document your
  travels and each event as if it were happening to
  you. This journal will be written by each student
  using language, dates, facts, and names from that
  time period. The entries can be created in a Word
  document with pictures inserted to correspond for
  each event that happens. Peer editing should be
  used on each entry to check for spelling
  mistakes, grammar/language used, and factual
  information.
• Your third step will be to use the research sites
  provided to gather information. You will need to
  include specific details as you write in your
  journal about the difficult journey and your life
  in America during your first year. These journal
  entries need to include dates and details about
  everything you feel is important to you as a
  Pilgrim child.

• Your last step will be to work with your partner
  to present your information to another classroom.
  The presentation must include factual information
  and some type of visual aide. Each member of the
  team must contribute and take part in the
  presentation.
• Some suggestions for your presentation might
  include
• - A model or diorama about a favorite event
  from the journals. - A Power Point presentation
  with pictures, dates, and information. - Dress
  in authentic clothing for the presentation.
