Welcome to your 2nd Blog assignment!

Good Morning Class!

Here are your tasks:

1. Watch this National Geographic Video: "John Smith's Voyage of Discovery"
As you watch, ask yourself how is the Chesapeake Bay different today from what it was like when John Smith explored it? What are some of the reasons that the Bay has changed? Also, be sure to make connections to the posters we explored in class-- Did any of the those images/words pop up in the video?

2. Play this fantastic interactive game/animation, also by National Geographic: On the Trail of Captain John Smith
You probably won't have time to finish... But you can always play at home! It might be an especially fun way to prepare for our upcoming fieldtrip or to study for a future test.

3. If somehow you manage to finish all that, explore the Science > Natural Resources folder of Ms. B's portaportal site.
