Today's blog is a reminder for everyone about our social studies project. Your colony research project is due November 10th. We have had four days of class time to work on this project. Today in our planners we listed out each part of the project and when we would work on each one. Our goal is to work on one part each day. Here are the parts:
Colony map (this map should be of your colony after the Revolutionary War. Make sure to only list cities and settlements that were a part of this time period. I have included a link to a helpful website in a previous post)
History of the colony: who founded it, why, what kind of people live there, when was it founded. In this section you may also include any important war battles, leaders, or famous people who lived in your colony.
Climate and geography: include major landforms, rivers, mountain ranges, lakes, ocean, etc.
Economics: Jobs, major crops, trading
Daily Life: What goes on each day in your colony--food, religion, recreation
Our social studies textbook will be your best bet for finding the most information (as we discovered together today). Pages 164-(approx)224 have the information you need. Challenge yourself to find the information in the textbook using the table of contents, index, etc. before going to the computer.
I will give you your tag board for your poster display tomorrow.
Thank you for your hard work today! AND--the book projects that you shared today were absolutely incredible. They all knocked my socks off. I am so proud of you.
