An example of a – 4 – paper:How Thanksgiving Came to Beby Jamal TraversMany experts believe that the first Thanksgivingtook place in the Plymouth Colony in 1621.In the video Journey to Freedom, Robert Nangexplains how the Pilgrims made the long, hardjourney to New England in 1620. Mr. Nang shows thatthe Pilgrims worked hard in the Plymouth Colony topractice their religion and make a new life.Unfortunately, with little food or help, manyPilgrims died that first winter. In March of 1621,help arrived. A Native American man named Squantotaught the Pilgrims how to fish and plant corn andother new crops. In fact, with Squanto’s help, the fallbrought a great harvest.The Pilgrims were thankful for the harvest, andthey held a three-day feast. They invited Squanto andsome of his friends to help them celebrate. That feastwas probably the first Thanksgiving.
