Jamestown Simulation

The students really enjoy the activity we are doing today. We are doing a computer simulation for the Jamestown Colony. They go to the site http://www.historyglobe.com/jamestown/ and try to get as high a rating as possible. It might be fun to go there and see if you do as well as they do. This is what they did:

1. For each prompt:
   
   1. Summarize each recommendation (Colonist, Charter, Native)
      
   2. Make a decision and write down your decision
      
   3. Explain your decision. Tell me why you feel you have made a good decision
      
2. At the end you are given a screen "here is an evaluation of your decisions," Write down your food, health, wealth, and Morale rating (DO NOT PRINT)
   
3. Click on "Now We Know" and read the information.
   
4. Using what you have learned retake the simulation to try for a better score.
   
5. How did you change the second time around?
   
6. Write down your food, health, wealth, and Morale rating for the Second try.
   
7. When you are done you may try for an even better evaluation.
   

The second try is especially important to see if you learned anything from the first.

Good Luck,
