While accident prone, it is true that Jamestown would not
have survived without his guidance. His edict "He who doesn't work,
doesn't eat," may have been stolen from the Bible, but it also saved the
struggling colony and fort. It wasn't until resupply ships came (the
First Supply, mentioned in the source title), that Jamestown really had a
chance. On board, a young entrepreneur named John Rolfe. His
horticultural interests would change the fate of Jamestown and England's
interest in American colonies forever.</div>

Happened Until the First Supply: The General History of Virginia</a>
There is a question at the start, but there is also an answer at the end.
They're valuable, but not necessarily what we're going to look at as a
class.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
B. Following the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sK4N0CrYlzieETivk3N-2yLOd3VNYRh3Pe_B3xIQ7j8/edit?usp=sharing">commenting
guidelines</a>, answer ANY of the following questions (<b>choose any 2 NON-CONSECUTIVE questions</b>),
and respond to them in the comments section of this post.</div>

<li class="MsoNormal">What
kind of audience does <i>The General History of Virginia</i> (1624)
seem intended for?</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Characterize
Smith's style of narration. Would you call him objective, subjective,
passionate, deadpan, ironic, humorous, serious? Cite examples to support
your assessment.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">One of
the most famous stories in American history is that of Pocahontas's rescue
of Smith. Some later readers have questioned the truthfulness of
this account, however. It has been noted, for example, that Smith did not
even mention the incident in his first narrative, and the writer James
Branch Cabell has suggested that Smith borrowed the story from a book the
English writer Richard Hakluyt published in 1609 or from any one of many
similar stories that are found around the world (52). Citing details from
Smith's writing or his life, argue that the story is totally true,
partially true, or totally false.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">How
does Smith depict the Indians in this passage? Make a list of words
and phrases that support your interpretation.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Where
does Smith mention God in this piece? Write out those lines.
What effect would this have had on Smith’s readers?</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">How
does Smith depict himself in his writing? Support your answer with
specific examples from the text.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">John
Smith famously took Jamestown's poorly provisioned and disciplined
settlers and "whipped them into shape." He famously
decreed "<b>He who does not work, neither shall he eat</b>"
(though he took that from the Biblical 2nd Book of Thessalonians
3:10). Practicality and labor have been important parts of the
American identity (what it means to be American) from the settlement of
Jamestown to the modern day. Based on your reading of the textbook AND the
reading from John Smith, does he present that "<a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ethos">ethos</a>"?
Defend your answer with specific examples.</li>
</ol>

C. Return in a few days and read through the responses of
others. Again, following the commenting guidelines, provide feedback,
criticism, or ask questions. Also, if somebody responds to your comment,

Raphael Sanchez was the treasurer of Spain for Queen Isabella of Castille and King Ferdinand of Aragon. <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0GPq60Hd132TFlDS0M3aDl4RWc/edit?usp=sharing">This short letter</a> to Sanchez details his original journey to the Caribbean in 1492, after his return to the port of Lisbon in modern Portugal. Columbus addressed it, "<b><i>Letter addressed to the noble Lord Raphael Sanchez, Treasurer to their most invincible Majesties, Ferdinand and Isabella, King and Queen of Spain, by Christopher Columbus, to whom our age is greatly indebted, treating of the islands of India recently discovered beyond the Ganges, to explore which he had been sent eight months before under the auspices and at the expense of their said Majesties.</i></b>" That's a mouthful.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
At the same time, it leaves some confusion, as whether Columbus recognized his mistake yet, or not. In the address, he describes the islands he explored as "of India...beyond the Ganges." Columbus refers to the Island of Juana. Today, we refer to that island as Cuba. San Salvador, the island Columbus first arrived at in the Caribbean, was already settled by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ta%C3%ADno_people">Taino</a> who called their island <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanahani" title="Guanahani">Guanahani</a></i>. The Taino were a part of the greater group of Natives known as the Arawak. For a time in the 1600s to 1925, this island was called Watlings island, and is part of the Bahamas. Today, it is called San Salvador, again. When will it be Guanahani (or Guanahany) again?</div>

How was popular sovereignty fueled by personal greed? How did it fuel the flames of sectionalism? What effects of this act were so controversial?<br />

For Unit 3 (the period from 1754-1800), create a historically appropriate meme. Utilize images of people/things from the era. Sum up the idea. Utilize <a href="http://www.memegenerator.net/">www.memegenerator.net</a>, and be sure that your meme is school appropriate. </div>

Copy and paste the URL of the meme created into the comments section of the blog. This is due by October 27, so the class can use it to review for the Unit 3 test. </div>

Thank you Thomas Jefferson for being brave enough to commit such treason, and Ben Franklin and John Adams for editing and revising (everyone needs good proofreaders). Without you all, and the brave rebels at the Second Continental Congress, we wouldn't have any of the freedoms we enjoy, because the world would have never followed your example. We still have more freedom than anywhere else on the planet, and we're lucky to be American.<br />

</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Having read Chapters 2 and 3, you're familiar with the Separatists (the Pilgrims, as they're more commonly known) who settled Plimouth Plantation. Did you know that <span style="line-height: 19.190340042114258px;">in 1620, the Pilgrims spent five weeks exploring </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Cod" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; line-height: 19.190340042114258px; text-decoration: none;" title="Cape Cod">Cape Cod</a><span style="line-height: 19.190340042114258px;"> before they sailed to </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth,_Massachusetts" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; line-height: 19.190340042114258px; text-decoration: none;" title="Plymouth, Massachusetts">Plymouth, Massachusetts</a><span style="line-height: 19.190340042114258px;">.

<span style="background-color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.190340042114258px;"><br />
</span> <span style="line-height: 19.190340042114258px;">I digress. After spending weeks at sea, the Pilgrims resolved not to set foot on land until the Mayflower Compact was written and signed. The Mayflower Compact is the first instance of a democratic society in the New World.</span>You should also be knowledgeable of the Puritans that settled Massachusetts Bay Colony (and, eventually, Hartford and New Haven), once you've completed the readings of Chapters 2 and 3. They're an interesting bunch that evolved in </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br />
The Mayflower Compact is a significant document in American history. Additionally, the influence of the General Laws of the colony, as well as other New England colonies is still visible today.</span><br />

It wasn't until resupply ships came (the First Supply, mentioned in the source title), that Jamestown really had a chance. On board, a young entrepreneur named John Rolfe.

<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #073763; color: #cc0000;">Characterize Smith's style of narration. Would you call him objective, subjective, passionate, deadpan, ironic, humorous, serious? Cite examples to support your assessment.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: #073763; color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the most famous stories in American history is that of Pocahontas's rescue of Smith. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Some later readers have questioned the truthfulness of this account, however. It has been noted, for example, that Smith did not even mention the incident in his first narrative, and the writer James Branch Cabell has suggested that Smith borrowed the story from a book the English writer Richard Hakluyt published in 1609 or from any one of many similar stories that are found around the world (52). Citing details from Smith's writing or his life, argue that the story is totally true, partially true, or totally false.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: #073763; color: #cc0000;">How does Smith depict the Indians in this passage? Make a list of words and phrases that support your interpretation.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: #073763; color: #cc0000;">Where does Smith mention God in this piece? Write out those lines. What effect would this have had on Smith’s readers?</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: #073763; color: #cc0000;">How does Smith depict himself in his writing? Support your answer with specific examples from the text.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: #073763; color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">John Smith famously took Jamestown's poorly provisioned and disciplined settlers and "whipped them into shape." He famously decreed "</span><b style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.190340042114258px;">He who does not work, neither shall he eat</b><span style="font-family: inherit;">" (though he took that from the Biblical 2nd Book of </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.190340042114258px;">Thessalonians 3:10). </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Practicality and labor have been important parts of the American identity (what it means to be American) from the settlement of Jamestown to the modern day. Based on your reading of the textbook AND the reading from John Smith, does he present that "</span><a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ethos" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">ethos</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">"?

Columbus addressed it, "<b><i>Letter addressed to the noble Lord Raphael Sanchez, Treasurer to their most invincible Majesties, Ferdinand and Isabella, King and Queen of Spain, by Christopher Columbus, to whom our age is greatly indebted, treating of the islands of India recently discovered beyond the Ganges, to explore which he had been sent eight months before under the auspices and at the expense of their said Majesties.</i></b>" That's a mouthful.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br />
At the same time, it leaves some confusion, as whether Columbus recognized his mistake yet, or not. In the address, he describes the islands he explored as "of India...beyond the Ganges." Columbus refers to the Island of Juana. Today, we refer to that island as Cuba. San Salvador, the island Columbus first arrived at in the Caribbean, was already settled by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ta%C3%ADno_people" target="_blank">Taino</a> who <span style="line-height: 19.190340042114258px;">called their island </span><i style="line-height: 19.190340042114258px;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanahani" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Guanahani">Guanahani</a></i><span style="line-height: 19.190340042114258px;">. The Taino were a part of the greater group of Natives known as the Arawak. For a time in the 1600s to 1925, this island was called Watlings island, and is part of the Bahamas. Today, it is called San Salvador, again. When will it be Guanahani (or Guanahany) again?</span></span><br />

<b>The Assignment</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">A. Read <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0GPq60Hd132TFlDS0M3aDl4RWc/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">the letter</a>. There is a question at the start, but there is also an answer at the end. They're valuable, but not necessarily what we're going to look at as a class.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br />
B. Consider the letter. Answer the following questions in the form below, and submit them to Mr. Pagliaro.</span><br />

When the week began, I gave out the work for over break,
in the hopes that students would begin early, and work over time. What I did not anticipate was not seeing you
all for 13 days or so. That being said,
I’m not sure how many students would have brought things home. That being said, I’ve got it all
digitally. Here is everything that is
due after break, minus the vocabulary (that’ll be posted to Edline). Remember, we’ve got exactly 3 months (88 days
and 19 hours or so) until the APUSH exam, and after that, no more homework…I
promise. Everything from that point on will be done in class (that’s a month
and a half!).</div>

<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">How does the author <span style="background-color: white; color: #020202; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px;">advocate for protections or safeguards for the rights or liberties of the people?</span></span></li>

Still, there are always details we could learn about the Stamp Act, Sons of Liberty, Boston Massacre, or Boston Tea Party. Occurring in December 1773, the Boston Tea Part, as it became known, ended up being the final straw for Britain. It had to rein in the "rabble" of Boston. The imperial powers acted both swiftly and, in their minds, definitively. Still, were the colonial protesters justified? Perhaps they were, and perhaps not. Listen to the <a href="http://podcasts.howstuffworks.com/hsw/podcasts/symhc/2008-12-08-symhc-boston-tea-party.mp3">podcast on the Boston Tea Party</a>. <br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<b>The Assignment</b><br />A. Read the chapter from <i>Lies My Teacher Told Me</i>.<br /><br />B. Following the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sK4N0CrYlzieETivk3N-2yLOd3VNYRh3Pe_B3xIQ7j8/edit?usp=sharing">commenting guidelines</a>, answer ANY of the following questions (<b>choose 3 or 4, please do NOT answer all of them</b>), and respond to them in the comments section of this post.<br /><br />As you read through 1493 in Lies...<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;">One question I had about what I read was....</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;">What were you thinking about as you were reading? Can you reconcile this version of Columbus with the others you've read or learned?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;">What question(s) can you ask about what you read?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;">While I read, I was curious about...</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;">What words or ideas need clarifying for you?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;">What does the author want me to remember or learn from this passage?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;">What is the most important information in this passage?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;">What kind of “teacher” question can I ask about the main idea?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;">In my own words, this is about ...</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
C. Return in a few days and read through the responses of others. Again, following the commenting guidelines, provide feedback, criticism, or ask questions. Also, if somebody responds to your comment, feel free to comment back, of course, being polite. It will help promote positive dialogue in class later this year.<br /><br /><br /><b>Both B & C must be completed to earn full credit for the assignment.</b><br />

<br />
John Winthrop's Model of Christian Charity - delivered on board the Arbella as members of the Massachusetts Bay Colony sailed toward the New World - describes the struggle of Puritans and their "errand into the wilderness." Their struggle? How can a group of outcasts who have a habit of quarreling with authority construct a strong society without fighting amongst themselves?<br />
<div>
<br />
As you know from your reading of Chapter 3, John Winthrop (1588-1649) was governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony - a group that left England in search of trade opportunities in the New World. Like most members of the Colony, Winthrop was a Puritan. This group claimed that the Church of England was corrupted by selfish leaders and petty squabbles. In contrast, Puritans envisioned an idealized community in which all citizens would focus their lives on the word of God. Ironically, the Puritans' almost single-minded pursuit of a perfected society based on biblical teachings resulted in impressive success in secular affairs. This success is often explained by the so-called "Puritan Work Ethic" - the ability to sacrifice personal ambitions for larger goals. Puritans also believed that they could be a blessed people - chosen by God to set an example for others.<br />
<br />
Both of these aspects have Puritan New England, and Winthrop's sermon have infused themselves into the American Identity. What it means to be an American, for generations, has involved hard work (especially on the East Coast [though, since the 18th century, this has constantly been diminished by increased technology]). Furthermore, the idea that the Puritan community that settled Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630 was to be an example for others to follow has truly been one of the things that America has stood for since that time, and increasingly so since the American Revolution. To this day, the United States of America constantly redefines how it will be an example to others, whether through its own actions, or acting on the behalf of other peoples and nations. Some might not like it, but it is truly, what the identity of the United States of America has become: hence, American Identity.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"></span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #cc0000;">To what extent did John Winthrop’s “A Model of Christian Charity” provide a powerful and workable founding vision for his colony? For what would become the United States of America?</span></li>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">
<li>What does John Winthrop’s “Model of Christian Charity” sermon explain about the beliefs and goals of the Puritans?</li>
<li>One way to read the lay sermon A Model of Christian Charity is as a kind of a “peptalk” or “motivational speech.” What points does Winthrop seem to want to make his audience feel good or motivated about?</li>
<li>The most lasting, final image from A Model of Christian Charity is that of the “city on a hill." Think carefully about this image. What sorts of things does it suggest to you, literally—that is, what is important about a literal city on a literal hill? Then, think about why Winthrop is turning to that image in this particular context—what does he want to suggest about his Puritan community and their sense of mission? </li>
<li>The phrase “city on a hill” is still used by politicians today in speaking about America. Why? What does this image still suggest about America’s conception of itself?</li>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of my favorite things is to learn interesting tidbits of history. When driving, many people listen to music. I listen to enough music while I run, so I often listen to podcasts in the car. One of my favorites is titled "Stuff You Missed in History Class." When something can be applied to class, I try to share it. Throughout the year, I use the podcasts as a forum for extra credit in APUSH. Often, the hosts will read listener mail, and it's not uncommon for an APUSH or college student to mention using the podcasts to supplement and enhance their knowledge. So, feel free to subscribe to it on iTunes. It's pretty great. You can also follow the show and its hosts on twitter, @MissedinHistory.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">In American colonial history, there have been several great episodes of late. So, I'll share them below.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Roanoke: <a href="http://podcasts.howstuffworks.com/hsw/podcasts/symhc/2012-07-11-symhc-roanoke-rerun.mp3" target="_blank">What happened to the lost colony of Roanoke (w/ Update)</a>?</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Of all the mysteries we've covered, the lost colony at Roanoke is one of the strangest. In this classic episode, former hosts Candace and Josh recount Roanoke's story -- and there's a new development, one that may finally reveal the fate of the colonists.</span></span><br />

</span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jamestown: <a href="http://podcasts.howstuffworks.com/hsw/podcasts/symhc/2013-05-13-symhc-cannibalism-at-jamestown.mp3" target="_blank">Cannibalism at Jamestown? </a></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On May 1, 2013, forensic evidence confirmed what survivors had reported: Colonists at Jamestown resorted to cannibalism during the winter of 1609-1610, known as the Starving Time. But the colony of Jamestown was troubled from the start.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />

Learn how this shipwreck may have saved Jamestown -- and inspired Shakespeare -- in this podcast.</span></span></div>

Because you are at a point when the Atlantic Slave Trade affected the era we're studying, I felt it essential to give you this overview. It's not a lot of time, so watch when you get a few minutes.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">John Green teaches you about one of the least funny subjects in history: slavery. John investigates when and where slavery originated, how it changed over the centuries, and how Europeans and colonists in the Americas arrived at the idea that people could own other people based on skin color. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Slavery has existed as long as humans have had civilization, but the Atlantic Slave Trade was the height, or depth, of dehumanizing, brutal, chattel slavery. American slavery ended less than 150 years ago. In some parts of the world, it is still going on. So how do we reconcile that with modern life? </span><br />

There is a question at the start, but there is also an answer at the end. They're valuable, but not necessarily what we're going to look at as a class.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">B. Following the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sK4N0CrYlzieETivk3N-2yLOd3VNYRh3Pe_B3xIQ7j8/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">commenting guidelines</a>, answer ANY of the following questions (choose 1 or 2), and respond to them in the comments section of this post.</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>What motivations may have led to the way Spaniards affected the native Caribbean population as they did? What motivated Spanish colonists?</li>
<li>What personal motivations might have led de Las Casas to petition the Spanish crown for leniency towards Native Americans?</li>

</ul>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">C. Return in a few days and read through the responses of others. Again, following the commenting guidelines, provide feedback, criticism, or ask questions.
