LEARNING GOAL: RI6 Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text. 

Today we are going to listen to your journals on author's purpose: what was John Smith's purpose in writing this "History".   

Then in small groups you'll discuss and answer questions 1-4 and 8 on page 100.  When you are done please look up the following vocabulary words.   

 When we finish the above we will move onto "Of Plymouth Plantation" by William Bradford. Note, this is the story of Thanksgiving. Contrast the style and think about differences in purpose between Bradford and Smith.
