Were You A Survivor? September 16 and 17, 2015

Today in class, we got a chance to talk about your understanding of "conflict" and "cooperation".  These terms are important to us this year, because in some ways, the story of human existence can be summed up as the tension between these two opposites. As we continue our work on the early colonies, keep in mind how razor-thin the margin between survival and failure can be, and how that might push the colonists to compete for scarce and necessary resources!

The work - By now, most of you are finished with your textbook summary note sheet.  Once you are done with that, you can work on one of the following:

• Venn diagram of Jamestown and Plymouth
• Note sheet on your assigned "New Look" book - 1607/Jamestown or 1620/Plymouth

We will continue to work on this in class tomorrow.  See me to check off assignments (textbook, Venn diagram, note sheet) as you complete them.
