The Lost Colony of Roanoke
One of the main jobs of historians is to interpret the past by reviewing primary documents, scholarly secondary sources, and then creating an analysis of this research. After reading your text and reviewing the assigned materials, submit an analysis of the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
You might want to consider the following questions, but you are not limited to them: What do you think happened to the Roanoke colonists? Why do you think we still do not have a definitive answer regarding their fate? As we find new information, how does this change our perception of the past?
This assignment should be at least 300 words and contain your reactions or questions about some specific issue within the historical narrative which you find compelling. For full credit, your paper must not simply sum up the reading or repeat points made there. Rather, I’m looking for you to create your own interpretation, explain the emotional content of the piece, or discuss some original insight. Include citations as needed.
You need to watch and read.
