The mystery of the Lost Colony at Roanoke is explored in this lesson as part of a unit enquiry: ‘how did England become more connected with the wider world between 1492 -1642?’
Includes a video (from Smithsonian channel) introducing the mystery, followed by a task using five pieces of evidence for students to analyse to see what prevailing theories about the fate of the Roanoke Colony are most supported by the evidence. This is followed by an analysis of two interpretations from historians about the fate of the colony. Finally, a ‘counter the codswallop’ plenary.
Intended to be taught to KS3.
