PILGRIM UNIT STUDY RESOURCE

This unit is far from being a "complete" unit about the Pilgrims but it is a start to help you in creating your own unit study.  This unit easily leads to a Thanksgiving unit study too.  This is the reason why you will find some resources about Thanksgiving.

Note: If you do not have any of the books mentioned...use what you have on hand and/or go to the library.
