Mission We are going to go back in time to 1621 in a time capsule, the day of the first Thanksgiving. When you get off of the time capsule you will be invisible so no one can see you. Ready, let's go! You step off the capsule and look around you. Everyone is wearing very different clothes. Look at the Indians...what are they wearing? Now, look at the Pilgrims...and what are they wearing. Now think, what would you wear if you had of lived back in 1621? Would you be a Pilgrim or an Indian? I would like you to draw a picture on a piece of white paper. The picture should be of what you would wear to the Thanksgiving feast. When drawing remember to use your imagination and make it very colorful! Check out this site to help you come up with some ideas: Pilgrims and Indians Mission Steps 1. Your teacher will
