Our Summary of:
The Jamestown Online Adventure
Unfortunately, Jamestown Online Adventure's site is not secure. Use at your own risk. As would-be Jamestown settlers, students choose from options: where to settle, what kind of housing to build, what to plant, etc. They can consult the company charter, a colonist, or a Native American. They are then rated on how their settlement might have fared.
Students will learn the most if they consult the charter, a colonist, or a Native American. They should play the game a couple of times through to see how different settlements fare. Still, one game will not take long (maybe 10 min).
