Sophie's Blog Day 14: What did you do today? What was the coolest thing about the village and museum? What did you learn about Native Americans that you didn't know before? What does "setting" mean in a play? Write a sentence about Sancio and John Cabot's first meeting with the native peoples of the New Found Land.
Today I went to the Indian museum, in the Indian reserve, I thought the coolest thing was the Indian village. In the village it had really cool statues of Indians that looked like they were alive. I learned that Indians lived in wigwams. A setting in a play means the back round and the stage and all the other parts. Sancio and John Cabot were nervous about the Indians at first, but met them, and liked them.
