13 Colonies Process

Use the links found on http://teacherportfolio.indstate.edu/jnorris/new_page_4.htm to answer the questions found in the Information Worksheets. Use this to help with colonies and their founders: http://americanhistory.about.com/library/charts/blcolonial13.htm 

Another website to help find economic conditions in your colony is here: http://www.brtprojects.org/cyberschool/history/ch04/economy.html

Once the Information Sheets are completed, you are ready to begin creating your publication.  You must understand what makes your colony stand out from all the others.  You must use your research to convince those 500 new Colonist to move to your colony.  Remember, you are creating this publication during the early 1700's.  Your information MUST be from this time period and historically accurate.  After completing your research, you must choose what type of publication to present  to the new colonists.  Your may choose from a poster, brochure, or 1 minute Animoto video. Your publication must include the following:

• Map of your colony as it was during the early 1700's
• Major towns or communities
• Geographic features
• Climate and agricultural information
• Economic development or how they made their money
• Why and who originally founded the colony
• Two reasons your colony is better than the others
• At least three pictures but no more than five - (if making an ANIMOTO video, use any many images you would like)
  

Please continue to refer to the list above to ensure that you include EVERYTHING needed in your publication.
