Reading: Standing in the Light: The Captive Diary of Catharine Carey Logan. A Dear America novel. Summary: "Catharine, also called Catie, is a young Colonial girl in 1763 in Pennsylvania. Her life was going great. She has a brother named Thomas, a sister Eliza, and a baby named Will. She has a crush on a boy named Jess Owen. She has been hearing news about Indian attacks for awhile and has feared that they will come and take her. Her father is not as concerned as she is and tells her to be strong. But one day as her and Thomas are heading to school an Indian comes and captures her! There's an old Indian and two Indians that looked like they were in their thirties. They bring her and Thomas back to their camp and force her to be like the daughter of an Indian family. The old Indian looks at Thomas and Catie and smiles. Thomas smiles back. He takes them into his longhouse and sit them with his family. She sits next to a beautiful woman with long black hair and she smiled at her. Catie was too frightened to smile back. She thinks she will die and she falls asleep standing in the light."

Introduction & Conclusion:
Introduction:
Hello again! We are here in Plimouth Plantation talking about Family Life. We will be visiting four places talking about different topics in each place. At the Fort we will be talking about school and church and at one of the Pilgrims' houses we will discuss family and home. In a yard and garden the topic is food and customs. And in the Wampanoag village it will be clothing and crafts.
Family Life in Colonial America was hard because the colonists were used to cities in England and Europe, not the open-wide spaces of the New World.
Conclusion: See I was right! Family Life was harder in Colonial America. But there were some upsides like you'd get to have lots of siblings, you'd get to make your own clothes, and look at the beautiful place they got to live! Well, thank you for coming to Plymouth Plantation with me. I hope you learned a lot about Family Life.
Teacher Workshop: Planning, make-up work, organizing, updating, etc.
