In this one hour class, we will take a look at the life, education, and many contributions to history that Pocahontas made. The first 30-40 minutes of the class will consist of a powerpoint presentation that will include a detailed look at the many different stories that surround her life. We will start with an examination of what types of sources we have, both primary and secondary, and what they tell us. We will then examine those different sources that tell her story and discuss why certain parts of her story have been omitted from the version that is most known. The last 10-15 minutes of class will be an open discussion of what we have learned and answer any questions that the students may have.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
In this class, we will discuss the role that certain sources have played in her story. I will present sources from many of the men from Jamestown, as well as other documents. My goal for this class is for students to walk away with an honest view of her story in which she was the victim. There will be conversations about her kidnapping, forced marriage, and the tragic end to her life.
There may be some Youtube videos that are seen during this class. I will share my screen and learners will not need to access them on their own.
