Plan:

Using the book as a guide discuss
  • What is a Pilgrim?

After discussion and questions students will make their own Mayflower ships.

Directions for ships:

  2. Students first put together their boats by gluing the edges of their boat pieces together.
  3. Then glue the craft stick in the opening between the brown boat sides.
  4. Place the sails on both sides of the craft stick, and then glue the boat to blue paper (water).
  5. Students will use lined paper to write two sentences about The Mayflower.
