Week 21 Puritans in New England
They began as a quiet Christian community in England.
They became key founders of the New World. We continue our study of colonial America by a focused study
of the Puritans, both at
home in England and as colonists in America. This week's study
connects students with information they learned in earlier units on
the Reformation, but in such a way that students do not need a deep
background in Reformation studies to engage with this week-plan, as
you'll see when you give it a try! Recommended resources for
younger students focus on life in Plymouth Plantation and
interactions with their new Native American neighbors. Older
students will read additional information on religious wars in
Europe and the reign of James I of England.

In this sample week, our sticky note comments serve a new
purpose. We've color-coded them to show you how
Tapestry can meet the specific needs of various students in your
home. For lower grammar students (approximately grades 1-3), look at
red notes; for upper grammar students (approximately grades 4-6),
read yellow ones. Green notes apply to dialectic level students
(6-9), and blue are for rhetoric level students (9-12). Is your
child a delayed, or gifted learner? Read the track below or above
his "grade level" and consider whether or not this track would serve
him. If you want to print out the week-plan before going through the

Tapestry week-plan: Right for each student at any level at the same time! Let us show you how.
Support Products: Making your job easier as you teach each student at their own level.
Threads show you your weekly teaching objectives. In this
sample, we show you that you don't need to do everything! Just
cover what you choose from the appropriate level for your
student.
Reading Assignments in this sample week are annotated to show you how to use them with various learning levels.
Overview shows your student his week at a glance. We've got color-coded comments waiting to help you see how to assign work to your student!
Writing tells your student exactly what he'll be putting on paper this week. Learning level coding means that remedial work can be quick and simple!
Student Activity pages apply about three pages of material to each learning level. Our comments show you how you'll divide up these pages week to week.
Pageant of Philosophy is only for rhetoric level students, so if your child is younger you won't be using it yet - except maybe for yourself!
Teacher's Notes will give you all the background information you need to skillfully teach your child, no matter what his level, without having to wade through his assignments yourself.
Note: Although none of these three week-plans call for it, some Tapestry week-plans have an additional green section called a Supplement. These only occur every now and then, and present extra information that may enrich your studies for the week. If you're curious what a Supplement looks like, check out Go to Egypt, the Year 1 3-week sample, which has examples of Supplements.
