Virginia SOL:

documents to understand events in history.
VS.2 f- describing how archaeologists have recovered new material
evidence at sites including Wereowocomoco and Jamestowne.
Objective: T.S.W. describe and analyze what archeology is and how it pertains to
Jamestown.
Sequence:
I will begin the lesson by introducing the assignment. I will let the students
know that they will have 45 minutes to complete the assignment. Once they
complete the assignment we will gather for a class discussion on what they have
learned. Before we go to the computer lab to start the Webquest, I will brainstorm
with the students on what they think archeology might be (I will break down the
word so they might understand it better). After we arrive in the computer lab I will
hand out the worksheet. The worksheet will contain the web pages needed for
each section.
*The Worksheet will be displayed on the next page*
Assessment: Students will write a paragraph on what they have learned and
describe their favorite artifact they learned about.
