Come to the 13 Colonies!

This week, students picked a region of colonies and wrote persuasive paragraphs about their region. They had to pretend they were living in colonial times trying to convince Europeans to come to their colonies. They included important information about the colonies' economy, government, religion, and lifestyle. Students voted on the most persuasive arguments that had the most important facts from the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. Read their great writing below! Based on these arguments, which colonies would you have moved to? Let us know! 

New England colonies- Alyssa and Haley F.


Middle colonies- Kayley and Collin


Southern colonies- Emma Kate and Evan

  1. Wow! Great job guys! You would have made this decision very difficult for me! Not only do you know a lot about the various colonies, you also know how to use convincing language and words to make your points. Way to go; keep up the great work!
