Too sarcastic in tone for me. It was funny and entertaining at first, but then it grated on me. These are real women who did interesting things, and it seems like she‘s almost making fun of them. Weird tone.

This history of Jamestown was ultimately an interesting if uneven book. There were some parts in the middle that dragged on and made me fall asleep in less than 15 minutes, but the story picked up near the end. Most Jamestown lore focuses on Capt. John Smith and Pocahontas, but there‘s a lot more to know. I like this time in history when religious and cultural norms were in flux. And any book that features James I earns points from me! 😉👑
I Sailed with Columbus by Miriam Schlein is a historical fiction picture book about a boy who claims he sailed with Christopher Columbus and he adventures along the way. This book would work well for partner reading to help promote collaboration between students. A UDL strategy that aligns with this book is strategy 3.1 (activate or supply background knowledge) and an EL strategy is strategy 2 (promote cooperation in small groups).

I finished this audiobook on my evening walk. It was interesting, with lots of information, but I struggled to stay focused sometimes while listening. I listened to it as a refresher on Jamestown history since I‘m starting a class read of Blood on the River with my 7th graders.
