 * Materials needed:** paper with their situation

The students will learn about the lost colony of Roanoke and complete a quick write about what could have happened to these people- reasoning The students will devise solutions to survival issues that the people of James town faced. – reasoning The students will use the timeline to plot the years of settlement. – Skills
 * Objectives:**

Using timeline to connect back to previous lesson showing when John Cabot sailed looking for the North West passage and connect it with new topic of settlement placing the Roanoke settlement on the timeline. Quick write about the lost colony and their hypothesis of what happened to the people After the activity would be the direct instruction. Telling about the James town hardships and how John Smith stepped up to take action- (connecting it to their team leaders who speak for their team) timeline- John Cabot left England in 1497, English settle Ronaoke in 1587, Jamestown founded in 1607 What would you do if you had //insert situation here//? List resources that they do have. Do you think a colony that had all four of your problems be able to survive? (after this go straight into direct instruction. - **activity** - Each team will get a scenario with one of four resources missing - they will take their scenario and devise 2-3 solutions - each team will present their solution after choosing a leader among them - present their solution

 * Food shortages
 * Poor housing

- showing how Jamestown did survive - assessment- listening to their solutions and their presentation as a group - writing - science - Math –numbers on the timeline - Latin- counting down for management 5-1 For the quick write I would allow students that had trouble with their handwriting be able to do this on a computer so that they could use the word processor. For students who had ADD and had trouble staying focused for a five minutes quick write, I would allow them to draw pictures or even come to my desk and act out or simply tell me what they thought happened to the Roanoke people. For a student with Autism that had trouble communicating, I would determine how they could best communicate their ideas and allow them to use that method. The second part of this lesson is the activity. The students were to talk about a situation they had been given and then devise a plan to get out of the predicament. There are many different modifications that could be made for this. First of all, students are being put into groups, so I would be sure to pair my students with disabilities with my stronger students. This way they would have someone to turn to in the group for help. For students with speech impairments I would allow this presentation to be done electronically. They would still be doing the same work as the other students but would be able to show it on projection or computer screen. For students with visual impairments, I would print out the situations in very large print so that they could see it. Everyone would get the same size font, therefore, no one would feel singled out by getting large font.
