| Program Description | Students will identify the natural resources of Chesapeake Bay region at the time of John Smith's exploration by examining the paintings of John White and viewing Native American and colonial artifacts. They will learn how these resources affected the lives of both the Native peoples and the English explorers. | |
| Program Format |
1. This program begins with an introduction of Captain John Smith. Students will use a map of the region to see the areas he explored and described in his journal. 2. We will view a video of the Bay so that students can identify the natural resources Smith encountered and described. Students will compare how the resources Smith actually found differed from those he was sent to "collect". 3. Students will separate natural resource cards into category groupings. They will also add resources found in the Bay region to each category. 4. We will examine both Native American and colonial artifacts to determine how they were used and which naturals were used produce them. 5. Students will examine copies of John White's paintings to determine native clothing styles, hunting and fishing techniques, village structures,economic activities, and cooking techniques and how natural resources affected each of these. 6.Students will read excerpts from John Smith's journal and then create a mural of a specific Bay area based upon a journal entry. |
