Students will watch the video “The New World: Nightmare in
Jamestown” and on their blogs relate the information on the video to one of the
7 Themes (essential questions) of the time period: 1607-1754
AP Students for Homework need to read A Patriot’s History of The United States pages 16-37 and outline
the similarities/differences between the three different areas of settlement:
The South, The Middle Colonies, and New England.
Today - we will review your primary source on "Indians Should Be Conquered and Exterminated" and connect it with a theme. We will also watch a short video from National Geographic and Crash Course.
HOMEWORK - AP Students listen to the lecture that is posted on Edmodo, outline it and be prepared to present it to class tomorrow.

Today we will go over chapter 2 and look at two difference perspectives involving Jamestown and the Powhatan Indians.
