Dear Room 13 families,
For the past week and a half we have been studying they colonization of the Americas.
Your child has been placed in a group of 5 members and assigned to the New England (ch. 5), Middle (ch. 6) or Southern (ch. 7) colonies.
Every student has one of the following jobs to do:
Economist- You are responsible for describing the economy of the colonies in your region described in your chapter.
Biographer – You summarize and draw all of the important people mentioned in your chapter.
Narrator- You summarize and illustrate the story that was at the beginning of your chapter.
Sociologist- You will also be responsible for describing the daily life of the people in your colonial region.
Geographer- Draw a large map (for presentation) of the colonies or your region and be able to describe them. Explain how/why your colonies were started.
Students should be in the process of taking notes and preparing for their presentations. We will have some time for this in class next week as well. Students should be prepared for their 1-2 minute part of the group presentation. It would be great if you could check-in with your child and make sure they are on the right track. Group presentations will be on Tuesday December 21st.
A reminder that the individual colonial project and paragraph write up (what did you make, how and why) are due Friday December 17th and will be showcased that day during “colonial days” (beginning around 1:10 pm).
Thank you so much for you hard work and support!!!
