On Monday, we spent the better part of the morning deciding on the provisions each group will take to the New World. We first read the provisions list from the Mayflower. We discussed why those on the Mayflower would choose the provisions they did. This pushed us to think about the kinds of things each colony would bring on their trip.
Each colony had to decide how many people to bring, number of seeds, tools, muskets, household items, and farm animals. What each group decided would determine the success of their colony. For instance, a colony's hunting capabilities is dependent on the number of muskets - no musket, no hunting. In these pictures, each colony is deciding on the provisions they are taking on their trip.
PS: We finished four rounds of sailing from the Old World to the New World. In the course of those four rounds, one group didn't make it past the first round because they did not purchase enough food for all three ships, one group lost one ship, and one group landed.
