The First Thanksgiving Stations Activity - *Print & Go Prep*

Looking for a fun way to get your students talking, moving, and collaborating? Look no further! This Station Activity will get your students moving while helping them learn about the First Thanksgiving Feast, the Mayflower Compact, and the Plymouth Colony.

How the Lesson Works:

★ This lesson is made up of six stations that will allow your students to discuss the following topics:

Station 1 - What’s the Difference? (Reading Primary Document and Comparing/Contrasting to Modern Holiday Traditions)
Station 2 - To My Family… (Reading Comprehension and Responding to Journal Entry Prompt)
Station 3 - Tell Us About (Conducting Research and Creating Short Biography)
Station 4 - The Plymouth Colony (Reading Comprehension)
Station 5 - Sketch It (Select an Event and Draw the Scene)
Station 6 - Brain Break (Word Search with Hidden Question)
★ This activity can be completed by individual students or by teams of students with one answer sheet.

★ The stations are designed to be completed in ten minutes. The entire lesson will take sixty minutes to complete.

★ Many of the stations involve writing opinions rather than facts, so there is not always necessarily a correct or incorrect answer. I’ve included a sample answer sheet to give you an idea of how students can respond to these prompts.

★ This purchase includes the six station cards, supplemental files for three of the stations, a student answer sheet, and a sample completed answer sheet.

★ All files come in a PDF format.
