Colonies
 
This week, to support our work on the American Revolution that
begins next week, I would like you to read about, and make a travel
guide for a tourist to visit the Colonies on the eve of the
Revolution (1769).
Choose from
Northern Colonies, Middle Colonies, and Southern Colonies. Your
guide should have an introduction, and should include three of the
following choices:
·
Which places to visit
·
How to get around
·
Local customs and
manners
·
What to wear
·
What to eat and drink
·
What to see and do
·
Sports and recreation
·
Where to stay
·
How to stay safe and
healthy
·
Money
Each section should take about one hour to design and write. The
reading will probably take 15-30 mins. per section.
There is math
practice as usual this week (maybe, 20 mins. per section).
Finished Travel
guides and math are due in Friday, March 12th.
