Researching the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag

Are you looking for more information about the Pilgrims or the Wampanoag for the informational section of your historical fiction picture book? Here are some resources I would recommend!

  • The Plimoth Plantation Website: You can visit their "Just for Kids" page or check out their "Multimedia Reference Library," which is filled with articles, videos, images, podcasts, online games and more! There's another section called "Wampanoag Homestead" where you can learn more about what life was like for the Wampanoag. 
  • The Scholastic Website: On their first Thanksgiving site, you can find information about the Mayflower voyage, what daily life was like, and what the first Thanksgiving was like. You can read letters and watch videos from the time. You can also see interactive timelines. In the "Compare and Contrast" section, you can look at what life was like for the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims. 
Did you find other resources that you love? Post them in the comments section so that everyone can use them!
