I did a R.A.F.T. on Roanoke, a early colony. I was playing the role of John White and I wrote a journal in a style he might write it in. Here it is!
1586
We set sail to a new land today. We found out that the land had food and friendly people. We came back to tell them that. We decided to make a colony. I became the leader of the colony. We ran out of food and supplies because the people we brought couldn't farm.
1587
We got more prepared today with 100 more workers. I am going back for supplies. I can’t get back with the supplies. There is a war here. It isn’t safe to go back and the war is getting worse. The war is starting to end. I think it’’s almost time for me to go back.
1590
I can finally get back. They are gone. The only thing they left is CROATOAN carved into a post. There is a bad storm. I must go. They aren’t here and the storm is getting worse. I hope we can find them. I wish we could stay, but we can’t search and the storm is almost here.
