Introduction
Imagine that your family and friends are living in Englad during the late sixteen hundreds, and you want to convince them to move to your colony.
Task
Your task is to learn more about colonial history. You will explore the colony that your group has been assigned and learn about the environment, climate, economy, jobs, religion, housing, food, clothing, so you can share this experience with your family members (your classmates) back home to persuade them into coming to America. Each group will research life in the colonies. There will be three groups based on these areas: New England, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern Colonies.
Process
Your group will create a Google Slide presentation to present your colonie to your "family and friends" (your classmates).
Each group member will be responsible for researching two of the following: environment, climate, economy, jobs, religion, housing, food, clothing.
Your Google Slide must have pictures and animations. Text should clearly explain the topic and have correct spellling and grammar. Your Slide must be easy to read. You must include a map of your colony.
Your presentation is due Friday.
