Niet alle kolonies werden gevormd door grote ontdekkingsreizigers, en niet iedereen werd om dezelfde redenen gevormd. In deze activiteit zullen studenten de twee vroege Engelse nederzettingen Jamestown en Plymouth vergelijken en contrasteren . Voor deze activiteit moeten leerlingen een raster- storyboard maken (voorgestelde grootte is 4x2 of 6x2). Studenten zullen hun onderzoek gebruiken om de volgende aspecten van beide kolonies te identificeren:
Uitgebreide activiteit
Studenten kunnen een tijdlijn of tijdlijnposter maken die de belangrijkste gebeurtenissen vertegenwoordigt die plaatsvonden in een of beide kolonies. Studenten vertegenwoordigen gebeurtenissen zoals de eerste landing, de oprichting van de regering, talrijke ontberingen die ze hebben meegemaakt en een belangrijke unieke gebeurtenis voor Jamestown of Plymouth.

Instructies voor studenten
Maak een raster waarin de nederzettingen Jamestown en Plymouth worden vergeleken en vergeleken.
Organize a lively debate where students defend either Jamestown or Plymouth using their research. Debates help students practice critical thinking and public speaking while deepening understanding of each colony's unique challenges and achievements.
Divide your class into two teams, one representing Jamestown and the other Plymouth. Assign roles such as researcher, speaker, and note-taker to ensure everyone participates and stays engaged.
Encourage students to use their storyboard grids and other research to find supporting facts about their assigned colony. Evidence-based arguments make the debate more effective and educational.
Establish simple ground rules, like respectful listening and time limits for each team. This structure keeps the debate focused and allows all voices to be heard.
Facilitate a class discussion after the debate to review key points and reflect on what students learned about both colonies. This step reinforces understanding and builds collaborative skills.
Jamestown was founded in 1607 for economic gain and was located in Virginia. Plymouth, established in 1620 in present-day Massachusetts, was settled for religious freedom. The two colonies differed in their reasons for settlement, approaches to government, interactions with Native Americans, and religious practices.
Students can create a grid storyboard comparing aspects like location, reasons for settlement, difficulties faced, government, Native American relations, and religious differences. Using visuals and text helps them organize and present their research effectively.
Collaboration encourages deeper thinking, better communication, and problem-solving. When students work together on activities such as storyboards, they can share ideas and complete projects more efficiently, improving learning outcomes.
Both colonies faced harsh conditions like disease, food shortages, and difficult weather. Jamestown struggled with leadership and hostile relations, while Plymouth settlers faced harsh winters and limited resources but benefited from alliances with Native Americans.
The best way is to use a grid storyboard or timeline poster. Students label each aspect (like government or religion), fill in details for each colony, and illustrate with appropriate images to support understanding and engagement.
