Aboard the Mayflower



Travel back in time to the year 1620 and hop aboard the Mayflower!



Begin by reading If You Sailed on the Mayflower in 1620 by Ann McGovern. This story is about the brave pilgrims and the tricky problems they had to solve.



Explore the questions proposed in the book with your students, like:




• What would you take with you on a long journey?

• How do you think the pilgrims felt moving to a place they didn't know?

• What would you do when you first arrived?




Then, have students use an Empathy Map to take on the perspective of a pilgrim journeying on the Mayflower.
