    Beginning by reading the National Geographic article (It Was America’s First English Colony. Then It Was Gone.)  also found here >>>Link

     

    After reading the article, watch this brief Nat. Geo. video that highlights possible theories of what may have happened to the settlers at Roanoke.  

     

    After reviewing the happenings at Roanoke it is time for your group to decide who you would take, and begin the workings of setting up your own colony!  Plan wisely!  This is not an easy task!
