The True Story of Pocahontas and Jamestown
This is the type of "real" history that students love, when you pull back the curtain of lies and myths to reveal a truth that is just as interesting as fiction. In this activity, students read about the real Pocahontas and her interactions with the Jamestown settlers sent by the Virginia Company to make money in the New World. I usually show a clip or 2 from the Disney Movie to get everyone's interest piqued (I suggest the "Colors of the Wind" song, followed by the famous moment when she suppos

Pilgrims: The True Story of Squanto and the First Thanksgiving
This is always a favorite of mine -- I still have former students message me on Thanksgiving to wish me a Happy SquantoGiving (it makes sense after the activity). Squanto lived a fascinating, heart-breaking and inspiring life, and deserves so much more attention and credit than we give him. This reading (with visuals) walks students through his remarkable story, which intertwines with the Pilgrims and explains how the first Thanksgiving came to be. It then dives into the interesting history of h
