Jamestown Settlement Activity Pack Jamestown Settlement PP Learning Objectives: The student will be able to explain about the History of the Jamestown Settlement 25 questions within 60 slides: excellent pictures and sources to engage and motivate pupil’s study of the History of the United States. Can easily be edited as required. Includes word search, design a stamp/word search. Extra notes/info given in the PP notes section. Video link to Time Team Special 32 (2007) - America's Birthplace (Jamestown, USA) Teacher Notes This is an excellent activity/game/plenary to further improve student’s work and knowledge. I split the class into two teams (in one class I have girls against boys but in another class I have just divided the room down the middle) and when we play the game each side decides on a volunteer to come to the front, facing the class so they can’t see the board (one team at a time). A word is shown on the IWB and each time the word is answered correctly I display another. This works really well but it is important to set some ground rules such as not using words that rhyme with the word on display. I’ve yet to come across a class who doesn’t like the concept. Works brilliantly in pairs also - 1 student turns their back to the IWB. Further Notes Student sits at front with back to board. Words are displayed behind him/her. Rest of class has to describe word to student - see how many he/she gets in 1 min. Can be reversed so that student can see the words and has to describe them to the class.

Grace Bedell and the President's Whiskers

Grace Bedell and the President's Whiskers The story with the letters and great pictures. The true heartfelt story of a young girl's spirit and determination to follow her beliefs. Grace wanted an end to slavery and became an ardent Lincoln supporter. She admired her candidate but was concerned his shallow long face might hinder his chance at becoming the next president. Grace took pen in hand and advised her idol to change his appearance by growing whiskers. Lincoln took the eleven year old's advice, won the election, and thanked her in person on his way to Washington. Grace's letter changed the face of a nation and possibly the course of history.
