  5. I found all of the images the group used to really aid well to what each slide discussed. It helped the audience grasp what they were talking about by having a great visual with every slide.

  7. I like how this group showed the Native American influence on the colony. That is a huge piece of history that is often overlooked. I found it helpful to learn about the conflicts that were going on in the colony.

  8. I liked learning about the culture of things like the taverns. It made it interesting that it wasn't all historical information.

  9. I thought this group did a good job talking about the culture of the Virgina colony. I had no clue that colonial Virgina was the wealthiest of the 13 colonies.

  11. Tobacco has started a lot in the United States. It's interesting to see the dynamic change it has had in the United States. Started as the first huge industry, brought slavery to the US and now it's being fought tooth and nail because of it's negative health effects.

  17. I did not know that Virginia was the wealthiest of the colonies, due to their cash crop (tobacco) and fertile soil.

  18. The only thing I have ever really learned about John Smith was from Disney's movies Pocahontas, so it was really interesting to learn about him here on a more serious note. I also enjoyed all the architectural pictures.
