    Pilgrims, the Mayflower Compact, and Thanksgiving by TIM BAILEY

    Colonial America: Pilgrims, the Mayflower Compact, and Thanksgiving BY TIM BAILEY UNIT OVERVIEW Over the course of three lessons the students will analyze primary and secondary sources on the voyage of the Pilgrims to America aboard the Mayflower, the writing of the Mayflower Compact, and the origin of Thanksgiving. The texts are a modern secondary source about the journey of the Mayflower and two primary sources: The Mayflower Compact (1620) and a letter by a colonist, Edward Winslow (1621). Students will closely analyze these materials, draw conclusions, and demonstrate their understanding through classroom activities as directed in each lesson. UNIT OBJECTIVES Students will be able to • Read primary sources and a secondary source about a historical event • Demonstrate an understanding of the event described by creating illustrations, using text from the document as captions • Explain their illustrations orally to their peers • Analyze and summarize the content and purpose of historical documents ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS You can use these essential questions to stimulate discussion throughout the unit: • What conditions encouraged the Pilgrims to leave Europe? • What challenges did the Pilgrims face during their voyage on the Mayflower? • Why is the Mayflower Compact considered the first document establishing an American government? • How did Edward Winslow describe relations between the colonists and American Indians? • Why is Winslow’s letter considered a description of the “First Thanksgiving”? • How does Winslow’s description of the 1621 event fit with our traditional telling of the story of the First Thanksgiving? 1 Elementary Teaching W/Docs Lesson 1.indd 1 6/7/18 2:26 PM NUMBER OF CLASS PERIODS: 3 COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.4.1: Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

    William Bradford's Life and Influence Have Been Chronicled by Many. As the Co-Author of Mourt's Relation, the Author of of Plymo

    William Bradford's life and influence have been chronicled by many. As the co-author of Mourt's Relation, the author of Of Plymouth Plantation, and the long-term governor of Plymouth Colony, his documented activities are vast in scope. The success of the Plymouth Colony is largely due to his remarkable ability to manage men and affairs. The information presented here will not attempt to recreate all of his activities. Instead, we will present: a portion of the biography of William Bradford written by Cotton Mather and originally published in 1702, a further reading list, selected texts which may not be usually found in other publications, and information about items related to William Bradford which may be found in Pilgrim Hall Museum. Cotton Mather's Life of William Bradford (originally published 1702) "Among those devout people was our William Bradford, who was born Anno 1588 in an obscure village called Ansterfield... he had a comfortable inheritance left him of his honest parents, who died while he was yet a child, and cast him on the education, first of his grand parents, and then of his uncles, who devoted him, like his ancestors, unto the affairs of husbandry. Soon a long sickness kept him, as he would afterwards thankfully say, from the vanities of youth, and made him the fitter for what he was afterwards to undergo. When he was about a dozen years old, the reading of the Scripture began to cause great impressions upon him; and those impressions were much assisted and improved, when he came to enjoy Mr.

Harvest Ceremony BEYOND THE THANK~GIVING MYTH - a study guide ­ Harvest Ceremony BEYOND THE THANKSGIVING MYTH Summary: Native American people who first encountered the “pilgrims” at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts play a major role in the imagination of American people today. Contemporary celebrations of the Thanksgiving holiday focus on the idea that the “first Thanksgiving” was a friendly gathering of two disparate groups—or even neighbors—who shared a meal and lived harmoniously. In actuality, the assembly of these people had much more to do with political alliances, diplomacy, and an effort at rarely achieved, temporary peaceful coexistence. Although Native American people have always given thanks for the world around them, the Thanksgiving celebrated today is more a combination of Puritan religious practices and the European festival called Harvest Home, which then grew to encompass Native foods. The First People families, but a woman could inherit the position if there was no male heir.
