Students,


Today we finished up the notes on colonial life that we began on Friday last week.

In addition we began to examine the founding of the original colonies. Who started them? Why did they bother to do so? How did they make their money? these were just a few of the questions we took  a look at. We implemented a 1- 3 - 6 protocol to make sure the vast amount of information was shared with everyone. Below is the graphic organizer we used. If you were absent, you can fill in the chart from the web, or you should feel free to drop by my tutorials (3:30 - 4:00) to get time with the books.

Important things to remember and bring to discussion tomorrow morning;
Not all colonies were founded by the kindest of people (Georgia) was initially a debtors colony.
Religion played a large role in the motivations of colonists.
