Jamestown Settlement
(View Complete Item Description)This project is done with research and using Minecraft: Education Edition. Students will be working as a group of settlers that have landed on the coast of Virginia, survive while building the Jamestown Colony. Some research will be done pre-building in order for the students to get an idea for the purpose of the settlers coming to Jamestown. After the project is completed students will reflect on working in a hostile environment while working virtual strangers to survive and thrive in a new land. The lesson aligns with 5th grade Social Studies but could be used by other grade levels with minimal remixing. It will require all students to have access to the game and computers capable of running the game.
