We have talked a lot about Jamestown Settlement, the first successful English settlement in the New World. To further our understanding of the early settlements and colonies, we compared the Jamestown settlement in Virginia to another early English settlement in Massachusetts - Plymouth. We read the following article comparing the two settlements and filled out a graphic organizer. In earlier lessons, we learned about the three colony regions: New England, Mid-Atlantic and Southern. In many cases, these regions were defined by their differences, especially when it came to their economies and how the settlers living in each region made their living. To help us better understand the economies of the three regions, we looked at the following worksheet and answered the questions. As a special note to those students who are looking for help with packets that are due - the following assignments are expected:
1.) 13 Colonies Map - Labeled and color-coded according to the 3 Colonial Regions. See the blog post before this one for a downloadable map. 2.) 3 Colonial Regions Organizer - Filled out according to the BrainPop video, including pictures in the last row. See the blog post before this one for an example. 3.) Jamestown Graph - Population graph should be complete as well as the four questions at the bottom of the page. Due to copyright, the activity cannot be posted on this webpage. See Mrs. Bauer for materials. 4.) Jamestown vs. Plymouth Organizer - See above for details and downloads. 5.) Economies of the 3 Regions - See above for details and downloads.
