Description
In this Lost Colony of Roanoke and the 13 Colonies CSI Activity, students take part in an engaging investigation to determine the fate of the colonists at Roanoke while getting a great introduction to American History. This is an ideal starter resource for any unit on the 13 Colonies. Students work individually or in groups to examine possible theories that explain the fate of the Lost Colony at Roanoke. Students will read through 6 possible scenarios, analyzing a variety of questions from a variety of disciplines in an attempt to uncover what truly happened to settlers at the Roanoke Colony. Students will answer and analyze questions from each scenario, then each student will complete a picture book or graphic novel that compiles the different schools of thought (and what they feel is the likeliest explanation).
