“My purpose is to engage students in dialogue so they can see other’s points of view – in a world that needs this more than ever. I do this by sharing lessons on this site which connect students with the past and inspire critical thinking.
Please read below to find details about this one.” Dan

This lesson is titled “What was life like in Jamestown?”

The lesson begins with a true or false starter activity to introduce the topic. The Key Question is then introduced along with aims and graduated objectives (all will/most will/some will). There are then 9 slides of background information to allow for teacher exposition. The class then begin their main task in which they play Snakes & Ladders. As they do so they make mind maps on food & farming, Native Americans, work & daily life, and disease & health (they are color-coded). There is then a fill in the gaps activity to test knowledge learned. They are then prepared for the written task. Aims and objectives are revisited. The lesson concludes with a plenary in which students come to the board and write answers on the speech bubble diagram. I hope your students get as much out of this lesson as mine always do.
