A MESSAGE FROM OUR CLASS:
When Mrs. Narvaez introduced this book to us, we were dismayed by her choice. As Mrs. Narvaez read to us, she really got into character, trying to read the character dialogue with an English accent. It was funny! We started to get into the book, making visualizations, and trying to imagine ourselves in that time period. Another thing that made this book interesting was that we started to make a lot of connections to our prior knowledge. We learned about how the Native Americans were peaceful people, and they were resourceful. They took care of the land, and they lived in humility. When the explorers began settling, they destroyed what the Native Americans had, but they also learned from each other. We looked forward to reading everyday, because even though the Native Americans were petrified, they fought against the English settlers to protect their land. What we really liked about this book was how we could connect to the main character, Samuel. He learned to control his anger, and he learned not to judge others. This was one of the best books we've ever read. I would rate it at 5 stars. You should read it!
BOOK SUMMARY:
This story of Jamestown from 1607-1610, is narrated through the eyes of Samuel Collier, a twelve-year old orphan. He travels to the New World in 1606 as an indentured servant to Captain John Smith, and they settle in the new colony of James Town. There, he must quickly learn to analyze who are his friends and enemies. On the Virginia shore of the New World, he realizes that new ways have to be learned if the settlers are to survive.
