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.
