This is a sort of add on - it's a short film of Teddy Roosevelt at the Jamestown's tercentennial celebration in 1907. I included this to show students how very long ago Jamestown was settled - I mean, it was 300 years BEFORE Roosevelt went to visit Virginia.
A 6-7 minute introduction video, by EL Education: Core Practices in Education, can be used with elementary learners on how to create a scientific drawing of a butterfly. The video illustrates how various details (colors, shape, and patterns) are important as well as receiving critical feedback from peers (or family) can help improve their scientific drawing.
See how this video can be used to support primary source learning (Spark Page- Learning About Scientific Drawings- Austin's Butterfly)
