Class Discussion
Have everyone come together and discuss what you already know about Jamestown. Think of things like what year jamestown was settled, what struggles the settlers faced, and things along those lines.
Welcome
LAND HO! You and your men find a river, do you..
CONGRATULATIONS!
You have decided to sail up the river. This decision has led to the discovery of Jamestown and added to the chances of your survival !
ADD SELF TAKEN PICTURE OF SHIP FrOM JAMESTOWN
OH NO! The Spanish have found you!!
You have just taken your first step onto the new land and as a captain you must make a decision.
OH NO!
You have found no gold.
Head back and rethink your decision.
CONGRATULATIONS!
You have successfully found food. Not only for the time being, but the oncoming winter as well!
This has increased your chances of survival.
The Carpenter
Which of the Carpenter’s options do you choose?
Death
On No! With your decision to build Row Houses you and your men starved. During the winter, the food you collected went bad and the settlers could not eat it.
Go Back and rethink your decision
Congrats!
The storehouse is a success. However, food rations are getting low and the gentlemen at Jamestown are getting worried….

Now that you’ve run out of food, what do you decide to do?
Good job!
Next
The Native American tribe gave you enough food and corn to last through the oncoming months. Keep trekking on!
That wasn't so smart…
The Native American tribe didnt like that! Not only were you unsuccessful in getting food, but now youve made them mad!
Oh Dear…
You have decided to go for a walk and stumble across a Laborer who seems to be cutting down trees. He looks sick! You see him fall to the ground. You come closer to see what happened and are faced with a decision…. What will you do?
You want to help out the Laborer, How do you want to help him?
OH NO, The Laborer
OH NO!
Oh no! The water makes the laborer even more sick.. This decrease his chances of survival!
Go back and rethink your choice!
Congratulations!!
You have survived!
