The 1st permanent settlement in America

Map

JAMESTOWNE

In 1607, around 100 men and boys landed on the shores of the New World and created the first permanent English settlement in North America. Captain John Smith was one of them. Besides being one of the first governors of Jamestowne, he was also the author of the General History of Virginia, in which he described the story of the settlers. Nowadays, people can visit the museum built at the same place, see the archaeological artefacts found there and learn something about the life in Jamestowne.

YOUR TASK

OPEN DAY

at historic Jamestowne

You belong to the staff responsible for preparing an open day promoting your museum. You have to come up with the programme containing at least 3 different activities which will help the visitors learn something about the history of the settlement, the life in the colony in the 17th century, the most important figures connected with this place and will show them the site itself as well. You have to choose your target audience - kids, teenagers, academics, seniors... Then prepare a very short presentation in Canva (1 slide per activity) to inform the team leader of your suggestions. You are going to present it within 2 minutes.
