It's Webercise Time!
The Web Exercise provided below will assist you in your journey of learning more about the Pilgrims, Puritans, and the first colonies of early America. You are responsible for following the links that I have provided and then searching the website for all relatable information concerning the questions that I have laid out for you. We are going to start with the English Reformation, journey with the Pilgrims and Puritans as they cross the sea to inhabit a new land, and then build with the settlers as they colonize America and make it into the nation that it is today. The last portion of the webercise focuses primarily on three authors that we will be focusing on in class. As already discussed in class, I have divided the students into three groups and each group will take an author, researching his life, works, and accomplishments. We will then have an engaging group activity with this author research, including a fun skit and a brief presentation. So be prepared!
The main point of a webercise is to get you actively involved in internet research and able to find valuable information in an efficient manner, all the while learning to sort the treasure from the trash, so to speak. It is important to remember that there is so so so much information all over the web, but not all of it is accurate and not all of it is relatable to your subject. Therefore, as researches, we must be mindful that we are only looking for correct and relevant information that will assist us on our Pilgrim Adventure. So follow the links that I have so helpfully provided and have fun on your quest!
