Good morning everyone,

Yesterday you read through William Bradford’s “Of Plymouth Plantation” and highlighted pieces of the text that related to how the Puritans viewed nature. Before fast forwarding 100 years and taking a look at a piece of writing from William Byrd you will have the opportunity to work with a partner and compare the texts you highlighted yesterday.

Today's first mission:

1. Go into your EJ and click on the link to your highlighted text from yesterday.

2. With your partner look over both of your texts and review what you highlighted yesterday.

3. Discuss with your partner what similarities and differences you noticed in each other’s work.

4. Complete the EJ entry. You and your partner must have your own journal entries.
