Colonial America


SS4H3 The student will explain the factors that shaped British colonial America.
  1. Compare and contrast life in the New England, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern colonies.
  2. Describe colonial life in America as experienced by various people, including large landowners, farmers, artisans, women, indentured servants, slaves, and Native Americans.

    Check out these awesome websites on colonial America.

    This is a cute trivia game. The students navigate through a maze by answering questions about the original colonies. There are fact boxes that pop up after each question is answered to expand knowledge.

    This website provides links to several different activities. I found the link on artisans and trades to be interesting.
