Introduction
In this lesson, we will explore the
interesting and exciting world in which the first settlers in
America, the Pilgrims, lived. We will look at their houses, the clothes
they wore, the food they ate, and even take a look at their neighbors,
the Indians! We will also look at some of the reasons they left England
for America in the first place! |
Mission
Activity
In this Mission Activity, imagine that you have stepped into a time machine. You travel back in time to the first Thanksgiving feast, and you sit down to eat with the Indians and Pilgrims. You look over you shoulder, and the machine starts to blink! You grab your plate, and run into the machine just as it flashes back to today! You look down and see what is on your plate, and now you can draw a picture of what you brought back from Plymouth Colony! Mission Steps
You will need to
have: Crayons, Markers and paper plates.
1.Take a paper plate and a selection of markers and crayons 2. Take the Crayons and Markers and draw all the good things you put on your plate at the big Thanksgiving feast in Plymouth! (Before you jumped back in the Time Machine!) 3.Think about how they compare with the foods we eat today? |
