Teaching With JoyHistory ... Giving Thanks: The 1621 Harvest Feast | ||
|
by Kate Waters With photograph's of interpreters in seventeenth-century costumes taken on Massachusetts' Plimoth Plantation, this book makes you feel as if you actually attended the first Thanksgiving! This book attempts to show what the celebration was really like, the historical fact versus the myth that has grown up around the event. The story includes Resolved White, a 6-year-old English boy, and Dancing Moccasins, a 14-year-old Wampanoag youth, who are interested in each others' cultures as they interact with one another during the celebration. The book alternates back and forth between their two points of view. A great book for Thanksgiving reading or for the study of colonial America with young children. See these other books by Kate Waters: Sarah Morton's Day: A Day in the Life of a Pilgrim Girl, On the Mayflower:Voyage of the Ship's Apprentice and Passenger Girl, Tapenum's Day: A Wampanoag Indian Boy in Pilgrim Times, Mary Geddy's Day:A Colonial Girl in Williamsburg, and Samuel Eaton's Day: A Day in the Life of a Pilgrim Boy.
