Take your students online to "The First Thanksgiving" produced by Scholastic Inc, teacher.scholastic.com/thanksgiving/. Click on the picture Experience Life in Plimoth 1621 and then click on the picture Daily Life in Plimoth Village. Your students can then read about these areas of Plymoth life.
After your students have read through, lead a class discussion about the similarities and differences between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag and then abou the similarities and differences between the inhabitants of Plymoth and your students. Divide your students into teams of 2 people. Each team will need to describe the clothes, houses, food, learning, chores, and games that children in 2001 have. Then students can take digital pictures or scan pictures of those 6 areas. Finally, as a team they will create a web page or a presentation about life in 2001.
