mschickie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 If you move over the picture about the webcast you are now able to click on it. It does not do anything yet but it looks like they might be working on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschickie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Now they say it will be on Nov 16th in a little video about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsam Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 If you click on "Tour the Pilgrim Village Now" picture, a 17 minute video pops up. Is that what we're looking for? I haven't watched it yet, but it seems to be working. Jodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschickie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I just get a little video staying how they are going to have the tour on Nov 16th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsam Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 When I clicked on the link provided by the OP, I end up on the scholastic page called The First Thanksgiving. There are three pictures underneath: Tour the Pilgrim Village Now, Tour the Wampanoag Homesite (Nov. 9th 1 PM) and Watch the WEbcast Replay (Nov. 16th 1 PM). If you click on Tour the Pilgrim Village Now, the 17 minute video comes up. Like I said though, this is my first year doing this, so this may not be what you guys are even talking about. :o) HTH.

Jodie Same for me. We are about to sit down and watch. I think registering just gets the letters emailed. I don't think it has anything to do with watching the field trips!

mschickie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I tried using a different browser and I finally got it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attaboygirl Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Thanks for updating with your success. I finally got it to work, too. I guess they got everything set up later than they were intending? Anyway, good video, worth the price of admission and a little more. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairProspects Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Ok, that was way better! That was not up at 10:00am, but I'm glad they finally got it working. The kids were super excited they profiled our ancestor's house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in SW WA Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Just got home from CC.... Did the satellite presentation ever happen?? Sorry for the confusion.

TC5 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 This morning, I registered again, just in case it helped. I just read this email they sent, making me think something may be happening tomorrow. Email letters, at least. Maybe? Thanks for registering for the email portion of your free Thanksgiving Teaching Kit! Your class will receive a series of letters from Lizzy, a fictional character based on historical records of life in the 1620's, who writes from aboard the Mayflower, from the Plimoth Plantation, and ends with her excited rendering of the first Thanksgiving. Along with learning about this young Pilgrim girl, your class will also get to know 12-year-old Pometacomet, a fictional member of the Wampanoag nation, who describes life in the autumn when the Mayflower was first sighted, his first impressions of the "coat-men," and, finally, the great feast with the Pilgrims! All letters come with audio to give added life to Lizzy and Pometacomet and enhance the drama of their stories -- as well as offering pronunciation to new vocabulary introduced. Visually, the emails appear on a parchment like background and are accompanied by photographs. The roll out of the letters is meant to provide an historical backdrop to and build anticipation for the Virtual Field Trips to come - and to give you time for class discussion about each set of letters. As part of your registration, you will also receive email reminders for these video tours. Letters Schedule: November 3: Autumn 1620 Letter From Lizzy - A Message from the Mayflower Letter From Pometacomet - Harvesting and Preparing for Winter November 10: Autumn 1620 Letter From Lizzy - Arriving at Plimoth Plantation Letter From Pometacomet - Will We Live in Peace? November 16: Harvest 1621 Letter From Lizzy - The Thanksgiving Feast Letter From Pometacomet - The Feast of the Pilgrims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnointedHsMom Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 You can find the letters directly HERE. I found them yesterday looking all around there but I haven't gotten anything today as far as an email or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in SW WA Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 I highly recommend the 17-min video tour of the Pilgrim village. My girls are glued to the screen. We visited Plimoth Plantation last April and this video is bringing back great memories. In fact, they are watching it again now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnointedHsMom Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Now that everything is up I think it's great! The first video can be watched whenever you want. Beth linked it above. I bought a Thanksgiving book from them Monday to use with the Tutorial I teach at. I feel like I wasted my money on those. I could have just used the Scholastic web site. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC5 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 You can find the letters directly HERE. I found them yesterday looking all around there but I haven't gotten anything today as far as an email or anything. The first two are the same as the ones I received in email this morning. My emails also said to be sure to watch the Thanksgiving Live Video Webcast Nov. 16 at 1 p.m. ET. When I clicked on that sentence, it took me here: http://www.plimoth.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in SW WA Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 I added pics to our blog of our trip to Plimoth Plantation last April. (Yes, I spelled Plimoth correctly.) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
