Spinning Tales Around the Text

 

 

The journey across the sea to their new home would have been a long and difficult one, and although all of the villagers went hey would have left behind friends and family. They may have been frightened about their new lives to come, or excited about the change. Although many of the people would have been unable to write their were often people who would write letters for a small fee.

  • Write a letter home, either from the ship or from the New World, to someone left behind. ( this could be a letter by from one of the villagers, a letter from Ffion to her mother and brother, put into a bottle in the sea, or indeed from Ffion's cat, to the cat left behind )
