We began class with a review of the concepts about the early colonies. Students referred to their homework and chose the colony they wrote about in their paragraph. We then had a discussion about which colony should be considered the "First American Colony."
Next, students returned to their seats with their paragraphs. Students traded papers with a partner and used the list of writing rules (assignment #8) to edit their peer's papers.
Student then returned to their seats where I passed out a fill-in-the-blank style note sheet.
I gave students a short lecture on the first 10 slides as they filled key words into the note sheet.

Following the lecture we watched a short video on the lost colony of Roanoke

At the end of class, students began working on a map activity. We will continue working on the map tomorrow in class.
Homework is to finish their "Our First Colony" paragraphs in final draft form for tomorrow (Thursday.) Refer to the last two day's blogs for information on this paragraph.
