Extremely satisfiedLove this resource! I used this as an extra credit worksheet to correspond with a Pocahontas Movie Night where the students could apply our understandings of the Jamestown settlement. They were really interested to see which parts were true/false and some of them were even able to identify the historical inaccuracies themselves!
