- What did you learn about the Jamestown settlement from this simulation?
- Which decision do you think was the most important?
I learned that you shouldnt fight with the indians because a lot of people die. The most important decision was to not fight with the indians.
What I learned about is that Jamestown is cruel to natives.
The most important decision was that they needed money and food.
I learned that the Jamestown colonists settled in a low, marshy area in what is now James City County, Virginia. You wouldn’t want to live by a marsh because marshes carries diseases.
I think the most important decision was where you lived and what kind of community you lived in. Also how much food was available.
I learned that attacking the Indians was not a good thing, growing tobacco plants makes money for the settlers.
The most important decision was what I planted in th fields.
My best decision was living inland so i didn’t get attacked by spain.
Real Jamestown colonists had an uneasy peace with the Native Americans. An attack in 1622 killed 350 settlers.
I think that growing and fishing for lots of food was most important, because without food a person can’t live.
I learned you don’t want to attack the Indians. My most important thing is what I planted.
I learned that the native americans didn’t like them moving into there land. they also had to grow enough food so the whole colony could eat and that everyone in the colony had to work.
I think the best decision was were to land the boat(s).
If you go to a marshy area you won’t have good health.Also that the soil in a marshy place is very rich in nutrients. The decision that was the most important was where you built the settlement because, if you build the settlement in a marshy place people won’t live long.
I learned that you had to make a lot of decisions and if you made a wrong decision you could lose the entire colony.
I think the most important decision was to have people look for gold and and plant corn not do one or the other
