Monday, Sept. 28 Agenda

*Bell Ringer: Collect Myths (rubric paper clipped to the story, turned into the blue crate, first block folder)
*Finish paragraph from Friday (Cultural Encounters Message). Then, working individually: do you think either of these (de las Casas’ and Equiano’s) accounts changed the audience? How? Why yes or no? If no, what could they have done to more affect their audience? (comment on my blog): Read your book when you are done.  Remember, you need the book finished and a creative one-pager created by the last week of the quarter.
*Notes on Jamestown and John Smith
*General History of Virginia pg 94 Orange
*What changes do you think were made when Smith wrote it, why? (lists of details most likely true and those most likely altered) Is this a true witness account or fiction? Why?(reliable narrator) Why third person narration?
*Look at what he says about self as compared to what he says about others
*What was Smith’s purpose (or purposes) in writing General History… What details are included or possibly taken out that helped accomplish his purpose

*What does Smith’s account say about Pocahontas?
