...started to become overpopulated, crime ridden, and filthy. Two charters set sail for America in 1606.They were the Virginia Company of Plymouth and the Virginia Company of London. In 1607 Jamestown is established. Unfortunately, Jamestown is a swamp full of mosquitos and this caused half of the people to fall ill and die. During the stay in Jamestown many of the settlers are not expecting to stay long. During the time the settlers should have been gathering and making plans for winter, they were out in search for gold. Many people began to die .Thankfully, the Powhatan Confederacy helped save the last fifty people. The next people that come to Jamestown are two women. From here the population increases greatly. To make sure that the settlement does not dwindle back down the colonist set guidelines. This is where we get the famous quote from John Smith that says“He that shall not work will be he that shall not eat.” However, yet again the colony starts to run into more problems. Between 1609 and 1610 animosity begins to grow between the Indians and English. From this no trade is able to take place. In 1610 Jamestown is starving and only 65 were left after winter. Many people became desperate and resorted to Cannibalism. When all hope seems almost gone a shipment arrives and helps Jamestown...

...left England and reached the North American shores in April of 1607. These colonists who move here eventually learn many new things such as gaining leadership skills, and to learn to fulfill expectations. One thing that the colonist learned in the early Jamestown experience was to keep away from casualty. The colonists did not know that what awaited from them was a nightmare. In the Americans textbook, chapter 1, section 3 it states that “...the colonists hoped to find gold to satisfy them.” This means that they thought they could live in wealth but the truth is that life is not that easy when you come to place full of mysteries. These colonists suffered from hunger and diseases called malaria. These colonists were not immune to the disease which caused a lot of death. However John Smith has helped the colonist by teaching them how to farm and also to get support...

...Lucille Ball was born in Jamestown, New York, on 6 August 1911, and she will be remembered as the lovable, crazy, and accident-susceptible Lucy Rigardo, as presented in her television show. Lucille’s father died in 1915, when she was barely four years old, after he contracted typhoid fever (Peter). Henceforth, her mother took several jobs and was always busy, and Lucille and her brother had to be brought up by their grandparents. Lucille joined a drama school in New York and later found a modelling job where she worked for Hattie Carnegie. In 1933, she was selected to become a “Goldwyn Gal” and appeared in the movie “Roman Scandals” in the same year (Peter). After that, Lucille secured a contract with RKO Radio Picture and played several minor roles, encompassing one in “Top Hat” in 1935. Ultimately, she obtained starring roles in the B-pictures and sometimes...

The German Americans settled in the United States in the late 1700’s, they came because of their religious dissenters such as the Amish who were attracted by the proclaiming of religious freedom. Even though the German Americans started coming in the late 1700’s it wasn’t until the 1830’s through 1890 the German immigrant population represented one quarter of the immigration. During World War I most of the German Americans distanced themselves away from their home land, by the ending of the twentieth century the animosity that was towards Germany fell distant. That is because of John F. Kennedy being in Berlin in 1963 and Ronald Reagan in 1987 and they both spoke of uniting Germany. Present days the immigration from Germany is between 5,00 and 10,00 annually. Some customs that the Germany Americans may practice still while...

...help students understand content. The same can be said with the use of textbooks. Teachers should supplement core curriculum with quality trade books (GCU, 2012). Trade books can offer a wealth of information such as a means to expand vocabulary, clarify concepts, explore real-world situations, and entertain (GCU, 2012). Furthermore, Johnson & Small, (2008) stated, “In contrast to textbooks, nonfiction trade books can support instruction in nearly every subject…which allows a teacher to front-load experiences with a concept” (p. 132). The following table lists trade books that can be used to enhance and supplement instruction in Math, Science, Social Studies, and Reading within a fourth-grade classroom. Book Title | Content Area | Summary | Appropriateness | Standards | Millions, Billions & Trillions by David A. Adler & Edward Miller (2013) | Math | In this book, Adler helps students to connect large numbers to other things they already know. There are also hands-on activities that can be done, such as using one-fourth cup of sugar to illustrate what a million might look like. This book also tells students how long it would take to count to a million, billion, and trillion (Adler & Miller, 2013). | In the fourth-grade, students are expected to read and write whole numbers to one million.

...have not used it for 10 years or allow it only in exceptional circumstances such as wartime. However, It is a matter of active controversy in various countries as it violates human rights. What Is Capital Punishment Capital punishment is a practice in which prisoners are executed in accordance with judicial practice when they are convicted of committing what is known as a capital crime or capital offense. In other words, capital punishment or the death penalty is a legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. The judicial decree that someone be punished in this manner is a death sentence, while the actual process of killing the person is an execution. History Of Capital Punishment Early Laws The first established death penalty laws date as far back as the Eighteenth Century B.C. in the Code of King Hammaurabi of Babylon, which codified the death penalty for 25 different crimes. The death penalty was also part of the Fourteenth Century B.C.'s Hittite Code; in the Seventh Century B.C.'s Draconian Code of Athens, which made death the only punishment for all crimes; and in the Fifth Century B.C.'s Roman Law of the Twelve Tablets. Death sentences were carried out by such means as crucifixion, drowning, beating to death, burning alive, and impalement. In the Tenth Century A.D., hanging became the usual method of execution in Britain. In the following century,...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Indian consumer is a very interesting entity. The consumer in India is as heterogeneous as the country itself is. The urban consumer contrasts with the rural and the South Indian consumer with the North Indian. Further still, the consumer in the metros militates with his usage and habit patterns. The Indian consumer, is therefore very difficult to understand and very difficult to predict. Tea and Coffee are the favourite drink in India especially tea. A quiet cafe revolution is sweeping urban India with the explosion of coffee bars. That is bad news for tea - still the favourite brew for a majority of Indians -which has been losing out to coffee in recent years. India is one of the world's largest exporters of tea and one of its biggest consumers. However, it is coffee drinking which is increasingly becoming a statement of young and upwardly mobile Indians. Moreover, coffee bars, an unheard of concept until a couple of years ago, are suddenly big business. Coffee is slowly but surely substituting tea. There is also rise in the consumption of coffee. The specialty coffee movement has gained much of its momentum through the efforts of companies like Barista, Café Coffee Day and Starbucks. Coffee shops in India were pioneered by Barista coffee house followed by Café Coffee Day and Barista was opened in India in 1999. In India CAFÉ COFFEE DAY and BARISTA are the most popular and well-known cafés. The college crowd rates them as one of the coolest hangouts....
