We will answer the question: “Did Pocahontas REALLY save John Smith?”

Warm Up: What was the difference in tone between True Relation and General History?

Classwork: Read what historians say about the incident. Have they given us more options?

Assessment: What do you think really happened? Write a two paragraph statement indicating whether or not you believe Pocahontas saved John Smith’s life. Make sure  you provide evidence to support your claim. Use information from the documents you have read in class, particularly the primary source documents, to persuade your readers to believe your argument.

Exit Ticket: What are some of the differences between what you believe happened and the movie that you have noticed this week?
