So I've tried just about everything I know to get this video playable on all devices, but no luck. The app will only let you watch it on a PC or in the app for tablets only, and I can't find a way around this. So we are stuck to watching this particular one only on certain devices, unless someone knows how to record what is on a computer screen, which I do not know how to do. This has led me to try another new app, and I will test this over the weekend to make sure it can be accessed on ALL devices.
I loved our conversations we had about Jamestown and the Pocahontas/John Smith story. It is pretty fun to just point out all of the historical inaccuracies in the Disney Pocahontas movie, even when we just watched 2 minutes of it. We got to find out that John Smith was quite a character too. Not even close to the type of guy he was portrayed as in the movie, rather quite a jerk and a fame seeker. You all also did a great job in figuring out just who you would bring to a new colony and the supplies you would need. I think learning from the mistakes that the settlers at Jamestown made helped you in your decision making.
On Monday and Tuesday we are going to have another Verso discussion, this time we are going to compare the Jamestown and Henricus settlements. These to English colonies were only a few miles away from each other, and both experienced very different things. Starting Wednesday we will move up to New England and start our learning on the Pilgrims and Puritans before we move onto the 13 Colonies.
This school year has been great so far, and I'm glad I have you all in class! Have a great weekend!
