This lesson extends a student's basic understanding of the theories about what happened to the Lost Colonists of Roanoke by asking them to evaluate evidence that can support or disprove a particular idea. The evidence is presented in 12 well-researched "Clue Cards." Each clue card has questions for students to consider. The lesson plan and an example of three clue cards is given in the preview. This lesson can support Common Core ELA Anchor Standard 8: 8. Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence.

UPDATE! This lesson has been recently updated with a 20 slide power point presentation that helps reinforce the concept of primary sources while introducing the story and the task.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Last year was my nineteenth year as a teacher-librarian... and it was almost my last!!!! Like many of my colleagues in education, my job was almost chopped due to state budget cuts. I was saved because my community chose to step up and help fund some of the more "expendable" positions like music teachers and librarians. Whoa... HUGE REALITY CHECK!!!! I'm so glad to be doing what I'm doing and my major goal is to continue helping my teachers create information rich lessons for their curriculum that also allow students an opportunity to think critically about information sources. Along the way, I keep on hoping that I'll make it easier to teachers to learn new technology without feeling overwhelmed by their workload. What I'm hoping to share via TPT are great lessons that help students think about the role of information in their lives and help them to enjoy great literature. And if I lose my job next year as a librarian, then at least I've sent out some strong lessons about information to the ether. And maybe eventually I'll be able to fund the wine budget?
