Truth or Tale

In this fact-or-myth quiz, students decide whether statements about the Jamestown settlement are true or false, then explain their reasoning. Myths such as “Pocahontas married John Smith” are corrected through analysis of factual history. This worksheet develops students’ ability to distinguish historical truth from misconception and strengthens fact-checking skills. The reflection section encourages critical thinking and helps students articulate accurate historical understanding in their own words.
