Pocahontas Video Review: Compare and Contrast Disney v Reality
In this assignment students watch the Disney version of Pocahontas and compare with Disney's version to what really happened. There is a timeline of Pocahontas, a map, and events of what happened in her life. After the video students must write about the comparison of the video and what really happened in her life. The rubric that goes along with the writing is based off of IVOC writing grading. This works well with Upper Elementary, Middle and lower high school.

The True Story of Pocahontas and Jamestown
This is the type of "real" history that students love, when you pull back the curtain of lies and myths to reveal a truth that is just as interesting as fiction. In this activity, students read about the real Pocahontas and her interactions with the Jamestown settlers sent by the Virginia Company to make money in the New World. I usually show a clip or 2 from the Disney Movie to get everyone's interest piqued (I suggest the "Colors of the Wind" song, followed by the famous moment when she suppos

Pilgrims: The True Story of Squanto and the First Thanksgiving
This is always a favorite of mine -- I still have former students message me on Thanksgiving to wish me a Happy SquantoGiving (it makes sense after the activity).

This reading (with visuals) walks students through his remarkable story, which intertwines with the Pilgrims and explains how the first Thanksgiving came to be.
