702 and 731:

Go to the PBS website for Colonial House. See link below. CHOOSE two interative features under 'Interactive History' (375 years ago at 360 degrees, 1628 Across the Continent, etc..)
Explore each one thoroughly and write a reflection on what fascinated you the most about 17th century colonies in North America) Remember, give details and prove that you went to the website! What did you learn? Do you have any questions about what you saw?

(example - I explored the feature entitled 1628 Across the Continent. In this part of the website, I was able to view different angles of the colony the particpants lived on. It was surprising to see how small colonies were when they first started out.....)

702: Go to the link below if you want to see what "Toilings and Moilings" REALLY meant in 21st century English. You need to watch a few video diaries in order to figure it out who said this.
