In Social Studies, we have been learning about the first English settlements, starting off with Roanoke, "The Lost Colony". This is always the most fun for the kids, as it is still known as a mystery to this day. They learned the gist of the background then had to dive into all the different theories of what happened to the colonist who landed there. After they did their research, they developed their own theories. They may have agreed with one they learned about, or came up with one of their own. They had to report on it and write their own newspaper article using evidence from class, as if the mystery had been solved.
I loved seeing how excited they were during these activities!
