You and your students will love this unique writing exercise! This activity<\/span> meets the writing standards and will align with your history lessons about <\/span><\/span>the pilgrims, Native Americans, the Mayflower<\/i>, and the first Thanksgiving. You can even use this activity to assess students’ understanding and knowledge.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/b><\/i> Imagine you were a passenger on the <\/i>Mayflower.<\/span> Now that you are in America and have started making a new home, write a letter to friend back in England. Tell about something that has happened since you left nine months ago.<\/i>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\nTip:<\/b><\/i> Diversify this lesson by having some students write from a Native American\u2019s point of view. These students can write letters or diary entries to show their understanding, which will give a complete perspective of the events during this time period.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
