Pocahontas Speech
By Penny Flynn
Hello, I’m Pocahontas
(wave and curtsy). I was born around
1595 in the forest meadow part of Virginia. I am the daughter of Chief Powhatan.
I was educated by my mom, she taught me cooking and other housekeeping chores.

In 1607, the first English settlers came. I
saved John Smith’s life. I was captured by the settlers in 1613. I wanted peace
between the English and Native Americans. In 1614 I married John Rolf. In 1616
I traveled to England with John and had a son named Thomas Rolf . I last died
in 1617 of great unexpected illness. 
Settlers-People who move to a new place and
make a new home. Capture –To be taken or
to take someone or something by using Force. Respect-To admire or have a good
opinion about someone.
I wanted
peace with the Native Americans to understand each other and get along.
