What happened to the Colony of Roanoke? Let's explore the nation's oldest unsolved mystery..... Students will pretend they are members of the Virginia State Police Department assigned to the Cold Case of solving the mystery of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Students will receive a case file with important documents such as background information on the colony, evidence, and possible theories to solve the mystery. In class we will discuss the history of the colony and then possible theories of what happened to the colony will be discussed as well as evidence reviewed. Students can record their feedback on the possible reasons for the colonists unexplained disappearance and hopefully solve the mystery once and for all!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Beth Price and I am a certified teacher for grades Kindergarten through 3rd. I have taught students for over 20 years in a preschool setting, Kindergarten, 1st grade and online ESL classes. I have also home-schooled two of my children in their middle school and high school years.
I enjoy teaching all subjects but my passion is teaching Language Arts, Social Studies and Science. I believe that students learn best when they are actively engaged in a lesson--moving, singing, and participating!
I live in Tennessee with my husband and 2 dogs, and enjoy reading, sewing, gardening and spending time with my children and grandchildren.Reviews
