We have been learning about the Age of Exploration and Colonization of the New World by European Mother Countries, like England, Spain and France. Since this is a U.S. history class, we will now focus specifically on the colonies that were founded by Britain in North America, as these are the colonies that will eventually become the United States. First, it's important that we are able to identify the 13 Colonies on a map. So, we have labeled them using the printable map below. We also color-coded them according to which Region they belonged to (either New England Colonies, Middle Colonies or Southern Colonies).
In reference to the Colonial Regions, we began looking at the differences between them. We did this by watching a BrainPop video and taking some notes on the differences between the three regions. Our chart looked like the example below. Comments are closed.
