Click on the link BELOW and read OUT LOUD the first three pages of "Epidemics: A Story of Loss." Got it?
Once you've read the first three pages, your group should ask Ms. Leamon for your assignment: you will be assigned a page or a cluster of paragraphs. For each one, you'll need to list the main idea of the paragraph and a cause/effect statement linked to that main idea.
Once you've finished your idea map, get one member of your group to write it up on the board so we can get a clear picture of the culture as a whole.
THEN we will discuss how trade with the Europeans impacted this culture.
FOR HOMEWORK: FINISH the packet attached below. For a stretch, get a copy of the handout "A Kennebec Mother's Thoughts" and read that as well. Think about (no written work) how the epidemic affected this culture, and why.
