    Voyage to a New World

    POSTED AT 03:23 PM


    After experiencing a transatlantic voyage ourselves (virtually that is), we have some idea of the many risks posed by a voyage to the New World. In addition to the risks at sea, one must also ponder about the essential items to pack along for the journey. What is essential to your survival? What must you leave behind?

    Imagine you are traveling to a new world, much like the first settlers. Instead of traveling to a new land, you are traveling to a new planet in a galaxy far away. Since the spaceship is quite packed, you are able to bring only ONE bag with you. What would you pack and why? Describe the contents of your packed bag!

    Share your internet savvy. Which websites do you visit to assist you with homework, school assignments, or gather information?

    Some of my favorite websites for school are: (to name a few)
    cnn.com- To keep up to date with current events.
    pbs.org- To read primary documents and watch video clips about different periods of time in American history.
    wikipedia- For a quick reference on a topic I need some information about.
    dictionary.com- Look up words I need to find the meaning of and read the word of the day.
    freerice.com- Play vocabulary games and donate food to those in need.
    whitehouse.gov- Keep up to date with our president!
