Activity Analysis:
The students illustrations This activity is beneficial to the students. This will allow each student to visually remember what events took place when the pilgrims arrived.

The sentence that the students have to write This activity will allow me to assess the students better. I will not just have to go off of what they drew, but I will be able to see if they understood what they drew and if they understood the event that took place.

*Technology will be used in this lesson to display the handout that will assist the students in this lesson.
