阅读下面短文并回答问题。
With endless homework to do, today's students don't seem to have time or the desire for the investigation of the knowledge they have learned or are to learn.As a result, many may find they are at a loss while the teacher is giving the lessons.Why not have a try on the unit we are going to learn in the coming week?
Doing Research
In the 1700s, life in English colonies was not all the same.Choose one of the three main groups of colonies-southern, middle, or northern.Look in several encyclopedias and other books to find out how people lived in the area you choose.How did they make their living? What kinds of houses did they build? What kinds of tools did they use? What were their schools like? Can you think of some other questions to ask?
Write a report based on the information you found.You may want to include some pictures or drawings of furniture, tools, or clothing.
Looking at the Evidence
Look again at the story about the Vikings on pages 56-57.The story mentions several pieces of evidence that historians think may help to prove that the Vikings visited North America long ago.
Make a list of all those pieces of evidence.Pretend that you do not agree with the hypotheses historians have made about that evidence.For each piece of evidence, try to think of a different hypothesis that might explain it.Try out your hypotheses on your classmates.Do they think your hypotheses are likely to be true?
Using Maps
Find a modern map of North America.Compare it with the old French map on page 66.Can you find any shapes on the old map that match shapes on the modern map? Can you figure out what land the old map shows? Can you figure out which way is north on the old map? How can you tell?
Comparing and Contrasting
Compare and contrast the English colonists with the Spanish colonists.Were the English people's reasons for coming to America the same as the Spaniards’ reasons? Were their settlements similar? Did they treat the Native Americans in the same way? Can you suggest any reasons for any differences you noticed?
Reading on Your Own
Perhaps you would like to read a book about the people who came to America because they were forced to, not because ________ -the Africans.Here are two suggestions:The Negro in America, by Earl Spangler(Minneapolis:Lerner); A Pictorial History of the Negro in America, by Langston Hughes(New York:Crown).Look in your school or public library for other books on Africa or on black Americans.
Now please evaluate your work and see whether there is any improvement in your efficiency in learning? Do you think you will still be at a loss when the teacher is dealing with the unit?
