Your students are archeologists at the Jamestown Settlement.  The settlement directors (teachers) would like to include information on the new website, and the students have been asked to make a program (ie presentation) on settlers first arriving in Jamestown and their first few years there.  They must target this program to people who are not familiar with the Jamestown settlement to attract their attention and curiosity to want to see more of the settlement and get them to come visit Jamestown.  Their program’s artifact should include pictures of real artifacts, maps, etc to help explain the sequence (ie timeline) of events or tell the story of the beginning of the settlement.  They should include a brief explanation with each slide.  They will present their presentation to peers who will give feedback as potential visitors to Jamestown.

You know those Choose Your Adventure books where you get to decide what happens next?  This lesson is similar to those.  The first part of the lesson will be spent analyzing how to solve hardware and software problems that may occur with our Chromebooks.  The second part of our class we will be working in small groups to determine if we want to troubleshoot or reboot some scenarios from Jamestown’s Starving Time.  You need to be prepared to: scan QR codes, make some tough decisions, and defend your thinking.
