Pilgrims 

As the Pilgrims set off for the New World to establish a colony, danger and struggle created many challenges to overcome. To survive and ensure the success of their colony, the Pilgrims looked to a few strong leaders. This book supports students as they compare and contrast the experiences of the Pilgrims and those of the present day. Captions, maps, and timelines help readers determine the main idea and describe the overall structure of the text. Students can also use the book to cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the content.
