“Jamestown Glasshouse”

In 1619 the Virginia Company of London sent 75 boys and 24 girls—poor orphans from the city of London—to Virginia as indentured servants.  Turn your students into these poor orphans and have them decide whether they would have been willing to work as apprentices in the re-established glassmaking industry at Jamestown versus remaining on a tobacco farm.
