Wednesday Sept 16

Lab work for Wednesday and Thursday.

Last night's assignment was to have read the excerpts from William Boyd's The History of the Dividing Line and Smith's General History of Virginia. Now as a final assessment for unit, you will demonstrate that you understand the cultural and philosphical conflict that existed between the indiginous peoples and Europeans that came to North America. How will this be accomplished? Based upon all the readings from prior to 1750, create a dialogue between one of the European groups (Plymouth, Jamestown, Boyd's) and the Indians. Stick with only two characters. Who wants what from whom? And how will you convince or compromise? Your dialogue should reflect their attitudes and belief systems. Remember to keep this within the context of their time.
Length: 2 typed pages, double spaced, size 12 font. MLA heading
