We will be continuing our study of the first Thanksgiving today and tomorrow...I would like you to continue the Webquest from Friday. While doing the webquest or if you have some extra time, investigate these common myths about the First Thanksgiving:
Myth: The First Thanksgiving was in 1621 and the Pilgrims celebrated it every year there after.
Myth: The First Thanksgiving took place on the fourth Thursday of November.
Myth: The Pilgrims wore only black and white clothing. They had buckles on their hats, garments, and shoes.
