Roanoke Short Story

What do you think was most likely to have happened to Roanoke colonist?

Here are the REQUIREMENTS of your short story:

1. Your short story must be at least a half page long, hand-written, and single-spaced. Do not skip lines. If you choose to finish at home for homework you can type it. (double spaced one page typed)

2. Your story will begin sometime after John White left in 1587.

3. You have some flexibility as to the point-of-view of your story, however, it must be told in the first person (write as if you were the person, using “I”, “me”). Some options include: John White, a Roanoke colonist, an American Indian, one of the Spanish, or another creative option.

4. You also have flexibility on the format of your story. It could be a journal or narrative.

5. Your story MUST include the following:a. Setting –It must take place in the Roanoke Colony and the nearby areas.b. Theme –What you think happened (if you want a moral to the story it is optional)c. Narrative Voice –See step # 3 above. (Use I and me)d. Introduction & Conclusion – This is required.

6. While your story is fictional, it must make sense historically. Remember, this story takes place in the late 1500s.

The fate of the Roanoke Colony is one of America’s great mysteries. When John White returned to the Roanoke Colony in 1590 he found it completely deserted.

The only clue was the word “CROATOAN” carved on a tree.

Today you explored “what might have happened” to the Roanoke Colonists through historical fiction and now you will come up with your own theory.
