We once again find ourselves on the high seas, this time sailing with the British aboard the Mayflower. This unit will include reading about the" re-mix" of the first voyage, as well as the Journal of William Bradford and the Mayflower Compact. For part of the week, your reading assignment will come from the short National Geographic book, Mayflower 1620: A New Look at a Pilgrim Voyage. Later in the week, I will be asking you to do some reading out of The History of US.
Below is your homework for the week, along with this week's words for Monday's test.
