x Purpose: Who Were the Settlers of Jamestown?  1) improve skills in historical research. 2) demonstrate knowledge of the geography and early inhabitants of Virginia by describing how the early settlers adapted to the climate and their environment to secure food, clothing, and shelter. 3) identify problems encountered by the settlers of Jamestown. 4) learn how geography affected the Jamestown settlers in both a negative and positive way. 5) communicate and collaborate with students worldwide.  The story of Jamestown is the story of how our country began with the first permanent English settlement on our shores in the year 1607. It is the story of the interaction among the culture - the Powhatan Indians, English, Polish, German settlers, later to be joined by French, Italian and African people - each of whom had their own unique way of life.
