Visualizing William Bradford's "Of Plymouth Plantation"
In American History class, the eighth grade students study the Colonial Era and the founding of Plymouth Plantation. The students analyze different primary sources to better understand the different eras in US history. They read an excerpt from William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation. This is the actual account of the Pilgrims migrating to America on the Mayflower. To help students visualize their reading and bring it to life, every year we have a picture contest of the reading. These are the students who did the best at visualizing their reading.
