This week we created ideal locations in the "new world" for characters from Colonial American times. Some students had characters who moved to the new world for religion or a fresh start and would need to be nearby a church or a settlement like Jamestown. Others, from the Wampanoag tribe or Powhatan tribe, were already here and may have preferred not to have any English settlements nearby and to live in there own wetu homes or longhouses. Some colonials were friendly, and others quite fearful of Native Americans, which could influence where they might settle. Others farmed and preferred to live in Southern colonies on plantations. Later, we began a discussion of starting a 14th colony. Could we find a space to meet our needs and live peacefully with one another? What would our rules be? Would we need a treaty or some type of compact? What kinds of compromises could we make?
