Formation of 13 Original Colonies Scrapbook
You are a European traveler coming over to the new world in search of a new life and new freedoms. When you arrive things may or may not be what you expected based on the advertisements coming from overseas. You will create a scrapbook of the first year you are in your new colony. Making sure to focus on your family, religious beliefs, government of the colony and leaders, class system, education, gender roles, slavery as well as any other successes or failures you endure.
Framing questions:
How does where you come from shape what you expect now?
Why did you come to the new world?
What religious beliefs do you ascribe to?
How is your colony governed and why?
How is your colony laid out? What does it look like?
How do people survive? What kind of food do they eat? What do they do with their time?
Are men and women treated differently? What about children?
Who are the most respected members of the community?
Do you get along well with people who are different than you? Indians? Africans? Other Europeans?
How are medical issues handled? What kinds of illness plague your colony?
Objective: to understand and capture the day to day life in your original colony in both writing and visual representations through a scrapbook (a memory book)
Key terms: colony, charter, divine right, pilgrim, democracy, theocracy, autocracy, dictator, tolerance,
