Your class has gone on a field trip to Jamestown to learn more about the first Virginia colony. The visit was so exciting that you lost track of time and missed the bus back to school. Therefore, you and your two friends were forced to spend the night in the settlement. While you were there, you discovered a mystery to solve.

One of you spotted an old letter lying near the fort and became curious about its contents. There were pieces of the letter missing, including who it was for and who wrote it.  Click on the letter to read it. 

Your task is to search this website and to learn as much as you can about what life was like for early colonists.  You are to then finish writing the letter and include as many of these terms as possible.  You will get one point for each term that you use  in your letter.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE EVERY TERM.  BEWARE!  SOME OF THESE TERMS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH JAMESTOWN!!!
