ON THANKSGIVING DAY

What do you know about Thanksgiving Day? You have probably heard about it in films or television series, but what is its origin? Why do Americans celebrate it? We are going to surf the Net in order to find some information we will study and share in common next Wednesday. You have to make a WORD document in which you are going to write or stick the following (write full sentences, please). When you finish your document, please send it to 4bdiversantamarca@gmail.com:

1) The Pilgrim Fathers were the first English settlers who arrived in America. Find a picture of them and stick it to the document.

2) Find the name of the ship they travelled in.

3) When did they arrive in America?

4) Who was the king of England at that time? Find a picture of his portrait and stick it to the document. How did this king die?

5) The Pilgrim Fathers mostly fed on one single animal and one single vegetable, and Americans repeat this tradition at dinner on Thanksgiving Day. Which animal and vegetable are these?

6) How did the Pilgrim Fathers call the Indians they saw around them?

7) Who was Squanto?

8) What is the date when Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day?
