Set up a Herring Run (See Activity materials in Indians who met the Pilgrims kit and photo of Mashpee Herring Run).

Read Amos Smalley story "I killed Moby Dick" in Reader's Digest June 1957 pages 172 - 180

Make a pinch pot and/or an ash splint basket and decide how you would market it (See Activity materials in Indians who met the Pilgrims kit).
