We gathered information by reading this book:
We found out that a pilgrim is someone who goes on a long voyage. Many of us have been pilgrims, since we have gone on long voyages!
We investigated a cutaway of the Mayflower and put it in our Think Books.
We looked closely and found places like where the pilgrims spent 66 days below decks, something called the "poop deck", and we even found where the rudder connected to the whipstaff--we found out that this was how the helmsman steered the ship from below decks by taking shouted instructions from the connor up above.
We went on a virtual field trip on the Mayflower. Click here to be taken to the Scholastic website.
We used Google Earth to find where the pilgrims landed, as well as to find the Plimoth Plantation.
We also found the homesite of the Wampanoags, the Native Americans who met and helped the pilgrims.
