 Today we are going to finish vocabulary words - if we haven't (remember vocabulary quiz on Friday), then I'll give you ten minutes to finish the classwork from yesterday (or to study vocabulary), and finally we will move onto John Smith:

LEARNING GOAL: RI6 Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text.  

Write a blog entry on John Smith's purpose for writing a General History of Virginia.  In this blog you'll need a thesis statement that makes your claim on the author's purpose, and you'll need 4-5 specifics (evidence from the text) that backs-up your position.  Remember, introduce the quote, give the quote, explain the quote (particularly in how it reinforces your ideas).  You may want to quickly reread the text on your own and mark it up.  Why did John Smith write this?  Remember, this version of the text was written in 1624 - after Pocahontas had become famous (and had died of smallpox?).
