I just watched this video and I think it went along really well with the information we discussed in class today. I think that the most likely theory would be that the 15 settlers who originally were at Roanoke moved on to join a local Native American tribe. I think I might have lost hope that Capt. White was coming back, and I would have moved on and left behind the colony he originally started.

His name was Captain White. You said that the settlers joining the Native Americans isn't what you thought they would do. What is your thought as to where they ended up?

I think that the Indians killed the remaining english men because they had gotten mad because they were always coming to there village because they did not have any food for ever so they had to get food from them so they killed them.

That is one thought, Liam. If that was the case, why then were all the living structures gone...and why would Croatoan be carved into the fort post?

I think that the all the Indians killed them because they kept on asking them for stuff none stop that is what i think from the video. I think without the video that they were swept away by a massive storm that is without the video.

I did like when you suggested that in class. Way to go! I like how you were thinking about the weather/climate of the region and using that to make a prediction about what could have happened. What do you think "Croatoan" meant?

I think that indians killed the colonist because the chief hiself said that he killed the colonist.

I really think the indains killed them because they keep coming back to them and they got mad so they killed the remaining white people I think that's really scary but I really like the video :)

I think they use the stuff they had to made a boat to find a new place to live.Also I think the video was cool.

Clever, Trentin. Where do you think they went? Why? What about the word Croatoan? Why carve a word like that and leave without a trace?

I think that if the Roanoke colonists disappeared that they packed up the stuff and moved to Croatoan island. And then before they left they carved the word Croatoan in a tree to tell John White that they went to Croatoan island. Then they got back and didn't know what Croatoan meant.
Mrs. Everitt

Interesting. How did the settlers know there was an island known as Croatoan? If they knew why didn't Captain White know? What does this tell us about the relationship between the native people and the settlers?

I think the Indians killed them all for holding them hostage

Them they later used the wood from the colony to have fire wood during winter to stay warm
Mrs. Everitt
3/16/2014 02:27:34 pm
So, you believe the native people killed them and then ransacked their settlement for wood? What was the purpose of the carved word then?

I thought it was scared when the people were gone
Mrs. Everitt

Why? Tell me more about your thoughts on this.

i think that the indians killed them because they were mad because of all the people on there land and then they destroyed their houses and carved croatain into the gate post

The theory I believe is that the the colonists joined one of the native American tribes. Why I believe of this theory is because every one was gone and only the houses where left:)

I think the people in the video were killed by someone. I also think this video was scary because when they came back no one was there and all that was left was the word Croatian on a tree. I think the video was very interesting
Mrs. Everitt

Olivia - So you think it was someone outside of the Indians or Spanish? Who?! 3/12/2014 09:28:08 pm
I think the video was very interesting and scary that all the people were missing. 3/13/2014 06:12:05 am
I think this Vidio was very interesting and included a lot of information. I think that the Indians killed them because they kept asking for things like supplies so they could survive. It was scary that when they came back that everybody was gone.

I think the Indians killed the colonists because the chief said it himself
haley

I think the vido was kinda scary because the people and housees just disappereaded so its kinda scary because they don't know what happened to any of it and why it happened

I dont think it was the Spanish attacking because wouldnt there be daed bodies also for the Indians i jus think it was all by natural case like a bad storm no food or just all getting lost
Mrs.Everitt

Remember the time span here - 3 years. I think that if there were bodies, not to get gruesome, but I would think animals might have seen that as food. Or just science taking place - things decay. Plus, being on a coast would mean wave swells, storms, etc. So I think having bodies left behind would be rare.

i belive that croanoke means a sickness so i think that the english people got sick but not the indians and they new so they wrote the word croanoke
jayla bunting

I think that they all got sick and most people died, so, everyone else probably left.

I think that the colonist went with the native Americans because they knew how to cook and harvest so before they left they carved the tribe's name
Calvin Cooper

I think that the colonist joined the Native Americans because one of the Native American tribes had known more english

When the English left to go back to England to resupply the Roanoke colony, they probably had no idea that they were abandoning a group of helpless settlers. These 100 settlers did not stand a chance of survival. Geographically, the settlers were not educated enough of the area to effectively navigate the region. They had never experienced this new climate either, which certainly could have weighed on them mentally! On top of all that, they were setting up shop in a haven of Native American nations, which probably led to their demise. I think they died, and their settlement was destroyed by the Natives and time.

Wow! Thank you Mr. Barry!

What do you suppose would have been the likelihood of a hurricane coming through and demolishing the settlement? This was a prediction one of my classes suggested, and I thought it was very interesting.

I think it was the indians bacause the spanish did not know about the colony and the indians were also held captive and the wanted revenge.
Mrs. Everitt
3/25/2014 10:58:41 am
Very interesting Caden. Why do you think the word Croatoan showed up?
Caden Wilson
3/25/2014 12:19:03 pm
The Croatoan were the good Indians that helped them the bad ones killed them.
Caden Wilson
3/25/2014 12:20:39 pm
Secotan Indians killed them

I think they built a boat and sailed to a new area to build their settlement and the word croaton was the name of their new settlement Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
