Come to the 13 Colonies!

Students wrote persuasive paragraphs trying to convince me to come to either the New England, Middle, or Southern colonies. They had to use evidence from their government, religion, lifestyle, and economy. Here is what they came up with:

Who would convince you?!

Are you a little bit confused about the Triangular Trade? Do you need help studying for our test? Sometimes, don't you just wish Miss Glay was right there at home with you to help you review? Don't worry, your wish is my command! Watch the review of the Triangular Trade: 

Who can count how many times I say "Remember that..."?! Perhaps I need to add some new phrases to my teaching vocabulary! :)

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

13 Colonies Pic Collages

Last week, the students completed a project on the 13 original English colonies. In groups, students used the iPad app called Pic Collage to help teach their classmates about either the New England, Middle, or Southern colonies. All the students did a FABULOUS job! Below are our winners for each region of colonies:

New England colonies- Bailey and Alyssa
 

Middle colonies- Kaden, Evan, and Sarah

Middle colonies- Kaden, Evan, and Sarah
*Note- the students found a mistake after they had already submitted their project. It should say "Peter Stuyveant was the government when the Dutch ruled..."

Southern colonies- Lauren, Emma Kate, and Kevin
