Think about it

• What criteria would you use to assess acceptable participants for a voyage in 1500?

Colony Selection Directions• 1. Round one work on an individual list• 2. Round two discuss their pick within their

group and come up with the group picks• 3. Round 3 will come up with a class list– If there are any differences the group can LOBBY for

their person– 1 student will be designated to write the group picks

on the board or available surface• The debate will be orderly and I will be the

facilitator

Summary

• Would you use the same criteria for a voyage today as you would a voyage for the 1500s?
