REVIEW:
Yes folks, this is yet another great site put together by students for the ThinkQuest Junior competition. Great job, kids! Roanoke: A Mystery in History takes the user on an adventure back in time to the 16th century. Here the mysterious disappearance of the settlers of Roanoke Island will occur. What happened to them? Several theories are laid out, but no one is certain which one is true. This site is a great addition to the study of Elizabethan England and the settling of the New World and includes short biographies about the important people of the story as well as brief descriptions of some of the events in Europe that helped to shape the mystery of Roanoke. A great site, by kids and for kids!
