Roanoke Colony has vanished. Watch this synopsis:

Now Raleigh is looking to recruit more settlers for Virginia to try again.

The Time Machine takes place in a London tavern, where students portray English people of all walks of life considering going to Virginia. Each student creates a composite character with online helps that give them names, occupations, religions, socio-economic status, etc.

During the Time Machine prepare to do each of the following:

1) Identify yourself by

NAME
RESIDENCE

OCCUPATION

SOCIAL CLASS
FAMILY MEMBERS

RELIGION

2) State your opinion on voyaging to Virginia.

What have you heard about it?

What would motivate you to go or stay one way or the other based on your station in life? What are the pros and cons of each decision?

What do you suspect is the future of Virginia?

This Time Machine is designed to help students to understand what type of person would be most likely to migrate in a primogeniture and feudal system.
