Edward Winslow noted in his journal that the colony's governor, William
Bradford, sent four men on a 'fowling' mission in preparation for the three-day

meal consisted of seafood, which is often absent from today's menus."

and filled the shells with milk, honey, and spices.


6. Read this paragraph from the article.

"Whether mashed or roasted, white or sweet, potatoes had no place at the 1621 feast. These tubers were actually native to South America, where they were cultivated by the Incas. The Spanish, after invading South America and encountering the potato, began introducing it to Europeans around 1570. But by the time the Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower, the tuber had neither doubled back to North America nor become popular enough with the English to hitch a ride. The Native people of New England's are known to have eaten other plant roots such as Indian turnips and groundnuts, which they may or may not have brought to the shared meals.

What does the phrase "nor become popular enough with the English to hitch a ride"
tell readers about the potato?

A People in England preferred eating Indian turnips and groundnuts to eating potatoes.

B People in England were planning to take the potato with them to North America but changed their minds.

C People in England did not like the potato enough to bring it with them when they came to North America.

D People in England did not like eating potatoes because the potato had been introduced to Furone by the Spanish


7. Read these sentences from the text.

"Wild turkey was indeed plentiful in the region and a common food source for both
local Native American tribes like the Wampanoag and the English settlers. But it is
just as likely that the fowling party returned with other birds we know the colonists
regularly consumed, such as ducks, geese and swans."

What word could replace "But" without changing the meaning of the sentences?

A Particularly,

B However.

C Previously,

D Finally,

8 How did the Pilgrims celebrate their first successful harvest and their survival
in an unfamiliar land in 1621?

9 Name three dishes that the Thanksgiving meal includes for many Americans
today.

10 What is the biggest difference between the celebratory feast in 1621 and
Thanksgiving today? Support your answer with evidence from the article.


Thank you so much
