Fifth graders have looked deeply into the story of Jamestown, Virginia - the place where the United States was born. You've looked at the history, the challenges and the despair. Pretend you can go back in time and help this colony not only survive, but prosper
What recommendations would you give to the leaders and people of Jamestown that would make their lives better and help the colony succeed. Please respond to the location of the fort, the quest for gold, their ability to get food (hunting and gathering/growing), relations and trade with the Native Americans (don't forget Pocahontas and Chief Powhatan), and their fear of attack by Spain (don't forget spies).
Post your recommendations here.
