Assessment
for K-12:
- In the same groups, students should compose a classified ad to attract
different kinds of workers and settlers to the colony. For example,
Wanted: Blacksmith with appropriate images and text. Based on
what they have learned about different jobs and the needs of the colony,
students should choose occupations that are underrepresented and that
they think are important for the colony's survival. Together students
should write an introductory page for their collection of ads describing
what it is like to work in the colony to someone who is considering
settling in Jamestown.
