The Massachusettes Bay Colony; being in about 1620; Charles I was king in 1623 and he made the situation, of many people losing their jobs, worse by raising taxes. There was many dissenters, people who disagree with official opinions. These economic, political, and religious problems in England led to the great depression. The colony's gorvernor was John Winthrop; and he wrote about the Puritans' goals. They made a covenant with God, and under this covenant, or sacred agreement, Puritans agreed to build an ideal Christian community. Several factors helped the Puritan colony do well.

Well since all they were really focused on was God and work i dont think anybody from this day in age would like hem very much. Or would have liked to have lived in that time. So i would say that i might not have a problem with them, but i wouldnt really want to be one!

Yes actually i kind of am looking forward to it because i want to see what types of things our new groupcan come up with and how well the new members interact with everybody!

I think i would like the women and the economy section and maybe the colonial education section. The reason being a am a girl and the reason for education would be because i think education is interesting. Like a really want to be a teacher for little kids. Maybe headstart or even maybe kindergarten. So i think i would like those sections!

BTW MISS G YOU LOOK GREAT WITH WHIPPED CREAM ALL OVER YOU FACE AND IN YOUR HAIR!!!!!! :D haha. i told you..... :)

Well i like when we watch a powerpoint and take notes! Im a note taking person, most the time! Soo i would give it a three. I wish that al the words were on the powerpoint soo that way you wouldnt have to waste your breath trying to talk to our rude, loud, and very chatty class! But thats my opinion. But yeah i love when we do that! Ha-Ha.

I dont remeber disliking anything this week! i had a good week! I loved the review game even tho we had 12 points and the others had 300 some. Ha-Ha. But i loved it!! And i really liked the article about the Lost Colony. It was interesting to me and i wanted too read more! :)

I dont think that i would ever want to be an explorer from back then because they had a lot of things that they needed and had to get or they died or didnt get paid or something bad like that! I wouldnt want the responsiblity of being responsible for finding a specific place and if i couldnt then i wouldnt get anything! Or i would be killed in the process!

I loved my group change!!!!! :D :D :D

If i was to rate our video, i honestly rate it very high. maybe just a three. we worked better together this time than last time and we had fun with it, but just by watching our video you are not going to understand what is going on in the pages we were assigned. It doesnt really make since. So, yeah just a three.

Yes the movies distracted me. i dont know about any other of my group members but it did me! they were running around and screaming while we were trying to do a silent movie. and we even had to use the same table as one group because they took it over before we got there!

We havent watched any videos yet.. but i already know i wish we had a different topic.

Do i think its difficult to think of an idea to express history? Yes! Our group did not do a very good job i think of telling you what our pages were about. But Ashley was the leader. I am not saying that i could do a better job but, i think as a group we could have. But yes its very hard. I dont even think we really did it! haha.

Who did i best work with? I can tell you that it wasnt Megan!! haha. sorry but oh my gosh! haha. Umm i would have to say Ashley. Travis was okay sometimes but overall i work better with Ashley.

Ashley Perdue was our group leader and i think she did a good job as leader! Out of us four shes probably the best one to be leader truthfully. She did her very best to try and think of a good role for everyone and she was very good with the timing of everything and getting people to do what she thought was the best way to show our section. Tho as a group we should have come up with a better way to show people what oiur section was about. The more i look at what others did i dislike ours a little more wach time! But i love that we did a silent movie!

Our time was very good. We managed our time really well!!!! We got everything shot in really one day but we had some camera issues so we had to redo everything the next day. So our time was very well managed considering our set back.

My role in the movie was the slave onwer. I owned indians as slaves! If i was to change anything i would change the whole script i guess you could call it! we could have thought of something more creative and a better way to show people what our pages were about! i really dont think people are going to be able to watch our video and say hey thats such and such and he did this this and this. But again i love that we did a silent movie! :)

The thing I remember most about the lecture and also the thing I feel is the most important, is that not every person that tried to find a way to North America, is from the same place. Or of the sam origin. There was Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, and Ducth peoples who all tried. In which very few did succeed.

Am I excited to film the next section? Well, I honestly havent been over the next section yet soo I do not know what it talks about soo I really am not sure! I know that I do not care to much for the filming over all because I am camera shy but... I suppose if its not that boring and my group works well on the topic, then it will not be that bad!

If I could have one more person in my group it would probably have to be.... Lisa, Taylor, or Alexis. I do not care for my group! The only person you can actually have a conversation with really is Ashley Perdue. The reason I chose those three is because everybody got somebody they talk too all the time. Someone that is there friend! Andmy group is four totally different people put together and being forced to work together when we really have no clue how to even interact with each other. Ive been friends with Lisa, Taylor, and Alexis soo if one of them was in my group then I wouldnt feel soo alone and soo bad about doing a video!
