Hello! I am Mary Musgrove. I grew up in a creek village called Coweta. It was located near the city of Macon, Georgia. I spent most of my childhood learning how to gather wild plants. We used the plants for food and medicine. I was also taught how to farm, cook, and sew clothing. This is a picture of the land in Coweta where my village used to be. • When I was ten years old I moved to an English settlement with my fathers family near Charles Town, which is now known as Charleston, South Carolina. • I learned the customs of the English settlers and was taught how to speak English. Click on the blue words throughout each slide to learn their meaning! • When I was fifteen I moved back to Coweta. Since I could speak both English and Creek, I was able to help the Creek Indians and English settlers talk to each other. • I started my own trading post where I traded Creek deerskin for English metal tools and cloth. Traded by the Creek Traded by the English Deerskin Metal Tools Cloth • A few years later, James Oglethorpe and his English Settlers landed in Savannah, Georgia. Oglethorpe wanted to start a new English Colony, called Georgia. This is a picture of my husband and I. We were communicating with the English so that everyone could live in peace. • I became Oglethorpe’s interpreter and helped him communicate with the Yamacraw Creek leader, Tomochichi. • I helped keep peace between the Creek Indians and the English Settlers. • Oglethorpe, Tomochichi, and I worked together with the Creek Indians and the English to start the colony of Georgia. So When Did All of This Take Place? I established my own trading post. I was born. 1717 1700 I married my husband, John Musgrove. I worked as an interpreter for Oglethorpe. 1735 1733 1722 1734 James Oglethorpe arrived in Savannah and started the colony of Georgia. I was named the richest woman in Georgia. Tomochichi, Oglethorpe, and I told time much differently than you do today. We did not have clocks to help us determine what time of the day it was. Click on the Television to learn how time is told by using clocks. • Myself and other colonial children told time using the sun. • Just like Tomochichi explained earlier, light from the sun produced shadows on objects that would move throughout the day. • It was important for us to know that when the sun came up it was morning and when the sun went down it was night. •Take a few minutes and list three reasons in your scrapbooks why you think it is important to tell time. •When you have finished discuss what you have wrote down with your classmates at your table. Click on the green light to continue Click on the clock to learn how to tell time on analog and digital clocks by completing an interactive activity! Who knew learning how to tell time could be so much fun? • Now that you have become more familiar with clocks we are going to model our own analog and digital clocks. • You will need: • Pencil • Glue • The analog and digital clock worksheets that your teacher passed out to you and your partner. • Let’s model the times 7:50 and 2:20 on our analog and digital clock worksheet. • Once you have modeled both times on your clocks, cut them out and glue them into your scrapbooks. • What is significant about the times 7:50 and 2:20? • Write your response in your scrapbook under each of your clocks. Click on the green light to continue Time Memory Game : • You and the partner your teacher assigned to you will create and complete a time memory game! • At this time with your partner, think of ten different times and model them on the digital clock worksheets. • Once you have come up with ten different times and modeled them on the digital clocks, you will need to draw the hour and minute hands on each of the analog clocks to match the digital times that you have represented on the digital clocks. Time to Play! • Cut out each of the digital and analog clocks that you have modeled. • Mix the digital clock cards up and lay them face down. • Mix the analog clock cards up and lay them face down in a separate pile. Face Up Clock Face Down Clock Rules to the Time Memory Game • Player 1 will turn over a card in the digital clock pile and will say the time that is shown on the digital clock. • Then Player 1 will turn over a card in the analog clock pile and will say the time that is shown on the analog clock. • If the two cards reveal the same time, Player 1 will pick up both cards and place them in a pile
