Four Thanksgiving myths, four case files. Students become Detectives, Psychologists, and Journalists, checking what the Pilgrim eyewitnesses actually wrote, what Wampanoag historians say, and when Thanksgiving became a national holiday. Written for the whole family table with a kindergarten to grade 2 band plus bands for grades 3 to 5, 6 to 8, and 9 to 12. Includes a verdict board, a big-question reflection, an answer key, and an optional adult-led demonstration of baking a pie without an oven. Source-based and ready for the week before Thanksgiving.
