Respuesta :

The assignment wants to analyze your reasoning about which objects would be important for you to take to the past. In that case, I can't write your answer, but I'll show you how to write it.

Answer structure

  • Introduce objects that you would take to the past.
  • Show how these objects work.
  • Show how these objects will help you and the colonial.

You must look for objects that would work in 1620. You can't take a cell phone and an internet router, for example, because they wouldn't work at 1620.

Below you can see an example of how your answer might be written and some objects you can use in 1620.

The first object I would take to 1620 would be Styrofoam boxes. They would be essential for more adequate food storage, which would allow food to last longer. I would also take seeds. Although the colonists had seeds in 1620, they did not have the treatment, genetic improvement, and efficiency that the seeds today have. Still thinking about food production, I would take fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural tools of the present time, as they are more efficient than those of 1620. Finally, I would take medicines, and books with instructions for building shelters, and food and water preservation systems.
