Virginia Trip Research Paper

Jamestown The Buried Truth, was an exciting book that unearthed the lost James Fort that was established in the early 17th century. It was told by the lead Archaeologist of the Jamestown Rediscovery Project, William M. Kelso, published by the University of Virginia Press in, 2006. Kelso tells the journey of this twelve year project of discovering Jamestown in preparation for the 400th anniversary back in 2007. Along the way they found the graves of seventy people, artifacts, trash pits, armor, evidence of the “starving time,” the fort and other pieces of significant evidence.

As a young child many of us are raised to be familiar with the Pocahontas and John Smith story. Whether it was in a Disney movie or at a school play that one first learned of Jamestown, students want to believe that this romantic relationship really did occur. As one ages, one becomes aware of the dichotomy between fact and fiction. This is brilliantly explained in David A. Price's, Love and Hate in Jamestown. Price describes a more robust account of events that really did take place in the poorly run, miserable, yet evolving settlement of Jamestown, Virginia; and engulfs and edifies the story marketed by

In 1607, three ships sent by King James the first sailed into Chesapeake bay, Virginia carrying each over 100 people. They then sailed up the James river and settled on a piece of land today called James island. This piece of land was home to over 15,000 Powhatan natives. They gentleman who provided the voyage came here to become rich and make money by collecting animal pelts, wood, and iron. The cause of numerous colonist fatalities in early Jamestown was in direct correlation to their relations with the natives, the horrendous lack of essential supplies impeding their survival, and atrocious ailments leading to inevitable disease.

Jamestown, an English colony, was in a constant spiral of death and struggles that included diseases, lack of resources and the Powhatan (natives) between 1607 and 1611. First, disease struck the colony only to be followed by drought and famine only to cause a war between the Powhatan (Natives) and the English colonists. It will always to be important to know the history of our great nation that we call

The Jamestown landing was on May 14th, 1607 and was the beginning of the first English settlement in America. The Virginia Company of London financed this journey to Virginia to extract profits from gold, silver and many other riches expected to be found. Additionally, they hoped to create a trade route to the Pacific. Of the many men that were selected to make this journey, there was a John Smith, who was a former soldier and an arrogant impatient natured man. Smith would eventually meet a young Indian princess named Pocahontas. He and Pocahontas would later become known as the two people who saved Jamestown.

During the 1600s when England began colonizing in the New World, different colonies had their own concept of freedom backed by their beliefs and/ or motives for settling in America. Massachusetts and Virginia were settled for very different reasons therefore life in their settlements differed greatly. The political, economic, social and of course physical aspects of the colonies were not at all the same, yet they both resulted in their colonies prospering and successfully settling the land. The settlers of each colony had searched for a place to express two contrasting beliefs of what freedom meant to them. Massachusetts and Virginia are two prime examples of how freedom can mean something

Pocahontas was born in 1595, with the given name of Matoaka and later got the nickname Pocahontas. She has been known as the favorite daughter of the powerful Powhatan Chief but she is also famous in history for contributing greatly toward the survival of the Jamestown colony. When the English colonists settled in Jamestown in 1607, there became tension between the Colonists and the Powhatan Indians. During the 1600s, the leader of the Colonists, Captain John Smith was caught by the Powhatan’s men. It has been said that Pocahontas saved Smith’s life and has had great influence on early relationships between the colonists and Indians. During Pocahontas’s life, she has faced many tragedies but triumphs have also played a role in her time.

Jamestown was built in 1607 because King James I ordered the English kingdom to sail to find a new trade route to China but they had ended up in North America along the way. There lived 15,000 Powhatan Native Indian tribes who had been living there for thousands of years. To keep themselves safe, they built a fort in the middle of a river (Jamestown) where there was good resources, freshwater, and a 360 degree view so they can stay safe. There was arguments between the Powhatan and the English which lead to wars. Many colonists died because of famine, disease, native attacks, boat wrecks, and many more disastrous things.

With the colonization of the New World came financial, religious, and strategic opportunities. England answered this call in various ways as British colonies began with certain interests in mind. Massachusetts and Virginia, besides being started with royal charters, were planted in separate locations, with unique resources, and by Englishmen with entirely different intentions.

Picture it! December 20, 1606 London, England over 100 men, women and children board three ships to embark on a new world adventure without knowing where they will finally settle. The voyage, sponsored by the Virginia Company, was not easy with one death and arrests for mutiny before landing on Cape Henry, Virginia on April 20, 1607. Named after the King of England, Jamestown was established on May 13, 1607. The site was surrounded by water on three sides, far inland, and not inhabited by the Native population. These attributes were thought to be ideal for profit by the Virginia Company, but soon after the settlers began to struggle for survival. The Jamestown Colonists relied on Captain John Smith, cannibalism during "The Starvation

In the episode of the Declaration of Independence, the Americans expressed their anger towards the British and colonial governments for abusing their executive power. But because the states cannot fight the British without some form of common government, they formed the Committee of Thirteen to draft the Articles of Confederation, which parallels nation’s first constitution. In the Articles of Confederation, the states reserve powers to themselves by favoring the idea of a weak national government to avoid resembling the British. In Milkis and Nelson’s words, this weak national legislature functions more like an “alliance” and less like a “government” (5). Although the idea of a weak legislative national government might serve as a temporary

The English settlement of Jamestown, Virginia, was founded on May 14, 1607 by Captain Christopher Newport and his fleet of a hundred or so Englishmen. During the next nine decades, this settlement would begin as "a verie fit place for the erecting of a great cittie(Tyler, 33)", and develop into "nothing but Abundance of Brick Rubbish, and three or four good inhabited houses(Miers, 107)." Two major factors led to the gradual decay and destruction of Jamestown: (1) The profit-before-survival attitude of the English settlers, and (2) the persistence of the Indians of the area to drive the English from their native lands.

Virginia Journeys and Literacy by Design both incorporate shared reading, guided reading, and interactive reading. In my opinion, Virginia Journeys did a better job addressing comprehension skills and strategies. Virginia Journeys really differentiated how to teach comprehension. The book listed strategies for helping struggling readers, on level readers, advanced readers, ELL students who are beginning readers, intermediate readers, advanced readers and advanced high readers. Literacy by Design did not have as much differentiation as Virginia Journeys. The only differentiation I noticed was for ELL students and struggling learners. When the whole class is working there are some enrichment activities. Literacy by Design

State Route 75 (SR 75) is a 13-mile (21 km) expressway in San Diego County, California. It is a loop route of Interstate 5 that begins near Imperial Beach, heading west on Palm Avenue. The route continues north along the Silver Strand, a thin strip of land bordering San Diego Bay, through Silver Strand State Beach. SR 75 passes through the city of Coronado as Orange Avenue (pictured) and continues onto the San Diego–Coronado Bay Bridge over the bay, before joining back with Interstate 5 near downtown San Diego at a freeway interchange. Orange Avenue dates from the late 19th century, and the Silver Strand Highway was open to the public by 1924. What would become SR 75 was added to the state highway system in 1933 and designated Legislative Route

Holden went to the Museum of Natural history to find his sister Phoebe. Holden loves museums because nothing ever changed there except you. He went there when he was a kid going to a field trip. In page 119, he said,”Even though it was Sunday and Phoebe wouldn’t be there with her class or anything, and even though it was a damp and lousy out, I walked all the way through the park to the Museum of Natural History. I knew that was the museum the kid with the skate key mean. I knew the whole museum routine was like a book”. The quote indicates that show that that is one of the places he went to Manhattan and also bring back more memories to him. He always like museums and seeing a group of kids walking around the museum. Holden remembers everything
