Jamestown Fix-It

This problem-solution matching activity helps students identify how the Jamestown settlers overcame early challenges. Learners connect problems such as food shortages, unsafe water, and weak fortifications with their corresponding solutions, like tobacco farming, cleaner wells, and stronger defenses. The “Think Deeper” prompt encourages students to analyze why these solutions were effective. This exercise promotes comprehension of colonial adaptation, problem-solving, and the evolution of community resilience.
