Colonial+America+Project

__ Colonial America Projects __ Each group will create a project. The project can be a slide presentation, a poster, a model, or any other creative idea that your group develops. Just let me know what your group plans to do by the end of social studies on April 7th. The project should answer the following questions: · The names of the states in your colony. · Who came to settle in this colony – from which country did they come? · Why did they come to this part of the Americas? · What part did religion play in their decision to come here? · Describe the interactions they had with the native people that were here. Did they get along? What problems did they have? How did they help one another? · Tell about the: geography of the colony (landforms, climate) · culture of the colony (way of life, traditions, beliefs) · Economy of the colony (how people make their money, goods and services that the provide) · Resources of the colony (materials found naturally, in nature) Your group members should decide how you are going to divide up the work. Make sure that everyone in your group understands what their task is and how they are to do it. You may use the text book and other trade books that I have on the back table. You may also use the internet. But record all of the resources you use. The projects will be presented on April 15th.
