Last week was an eventful one in social studies, as we spent some time uncovering the mystery of Roanoke: The Lost Colony. For any parents who may not know, Roanoke was one of the first English colonies in America. Its leader, John White, left for three years to seek help from England and when he returned the colony had vanished.
We had a lot of fun researching and coming up with ideas for what may have happened to Roanoke. We watched an old, yet entertaining, YouTube video which I posted here upon student request. We also learned about the five theories historians came up with, and gave our opinions of which one makes the most sense.
I’d like to see which of the five theories is the most popular among our class and parents. Take the poll below!
