Investigating the First Thanksgiving

Last week students answered these three questions as part of a culminating assessment for our "Investigating the First Thanksgiving" unit in social studies: 1) How do historians find out what happened in the past? 2) Choose an event that led up to the 1621 event. Describe the event from the perspective of a Wampanoag and of an English colonist. 3) Why did the Plimoth Plantation web site refer to this event as the "1621 harvest celebration" rather than the "First Thanksgiving?" Students are also finishing a "voice thread" that we will link to this blog shortly!
