In 1607, a group of 104 male settlers, led by Captain John Smith, established Fort James in what is now modern day Virginia. Today, the Jamestowne Rediscovery Society, a project of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, is dedicated to researching the first permanent English settlement in North America and to educating the public about the "dramatic story" of Jamestown's establishment and demise. Visitors will find a number of resources for teaching and learning about Jamestown on this page. Nine lesson plans have been designed to engage elementary, middle, and high school students with the story of Jamestown, while encouraging student interest in the practice of historical and archeological inquiry. For example, How to Think Like an Archeologist, a lesson aimed at upper elementary school students, facilitates an introduction to the field of archeology via an examination of grocery store receipts. While some of these lesson plans are designed to prepare students for a visit to the settlement, many of these lessons may be implemented in classrooms around the world without an accompanying field trip. Readers will also find a link to the organization's YouTube page, which features a number of short videos about ongoing archeology efforts at the site of the former settlement.
