Strategies-

For each objective we will read aloud and discuss the content related to each of the content areas in the 3 objectives; role of the Indians in the settlement of Jamestown, how the Indians hunted and gathered food, a typical meal an Indian child would have eaten and how it was prepared. We will also use videos I can find ( I hope!) that relate to the topic.
