Tuesday, September 13

We read the section on Indian Relations from Chapter 11 of William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation, then addressed the questions assigned as homework: were the terms of the Puritans' treaty with the Wampanoag equally favorable to both sides? what does Bradford seem to think about the native population in general?

As part of the process we looked at certain students' papers (mostly from other classes) under the document camera and examined both their views and how well those views were expressed and supported.

HW due Thursday:
Read pp. 38-45 in the textbook (including a biography of Mary Rowlandson and selections from her Narrative of the Captivity).
