 As a break in notes the students will complete the Mayflower Compact handout in groups of two to three. Teacher will form the groups. As a classwork (homework if time is short) students will have to complete the Come to America hanout. This will be turned in at the end of the week. Students will be told to find some information from the school library or some other book source. Sources will be asked for.
Accommodations:
 This lesson gives direct instruction, independent and group work, individual help, for a variety of learning styles. For those that have an IEP, they will be given extra time and separate testing facilities. (taken in ESL room) This lesson will accommodate students who learn visually, verbally, orally, along with the hands on learners. The quiz will allow for extra time and some can take it in a separate setting if they need to.
