The Pilgrams established a colony at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1621. The colony sailed to there from England on a ship named The Mayflower, the winter was very harsh for them and two thirds of them died. They met an native Indian that knew english named Squanto who helped them which leaded to them having the first Thanksgiving dinner with the Indians. I think it would deffiently be much different today than what we have now and I don't think I could manage with the differences. It would be interesting though to see it in person but I wouldn't want to live with them lol. I am so pumped for fliming haha hopefully we put together another awesome video. I don't have a book right now so I can't look through the pages and I would have to discuss with my group what we are going to do. BTW.............WE FINALLY MADE IT TO AMERICA!!! It's about freaking time we made it there. We were stuck in Europe and I thought we would never make it! People need to finish their videos faster because we do it before anyone else and ours is the best idk what's up with that lol!

I would rank the powerpiont a 5 out of ten. Mostly because you made it all about yourself and your friends than teaching us new materials. lol I did like the pictures though and the things you did tell us were very informative.. The lesson was just boring I want to get the colonies. The Dutch because they got the land they needed and did what they needed to do with it and that was it, everyone else took forever to do something because they were all fighting. My group did not have a change because un fortunately to everyone else our group is the best! lol BTW Ms. G Obomas signatures on the back of your shirt! haha ")

I would rate our video a big fat 10! It was amaizing and probably our best of the two films. What movies and what lecture are you talking about I didn't even knowyou did this lol. No I like the subject we had and I wouldn't have changed it. I want to look up more about the gold rush that they had and how they found gold or lack there of lol.

In some ways I think it's difficult to express history through creativity. On one hand history can be very boring so it's hard to get ideas on how you can make it interesting. On the other hand alot of movies come from history which you can look at those and come up with new ways to express creativity. Honestly our whole group had alot of ideas put together to make the movie. Randy did do alot of work and had more ideas than the rest of us but we all added a little piece of us in the movie. In our first movie Gretchen was our group leader and in our second movie Randy was, and in both movies Randy took control but it led us to have better ideas and an awesome movie. No, our first video was a little rushed but our second one is going much better as long as we stay on track. My role in the video was Hernando De Soto and he was an explorer that fought Pizzaro in Peru, won and declared that his empire was greater than the Incas. If I had more time for our video I would go back and add a little bit more of us talking instead of pranking but I think it will turn out good.

One thing I remember in class was that Amerigo Vespucci is why America gots its name. I think that's cool that someone not near America gave us our name. I am not really looking forward to this next video. I think we will do good with our group and it will turn out well. It may end up being fun in the end. I would probably add Brandon Hatton because when you put him and Randy together you will get a awesome film with angles and everything lol. I would possible think about putting Do in there to because well he is just halerious.
