Today’s Agenda
• Discuss “One-Pager” Region Project-due Thursday
• Colonial Regions Review- Freeform Mapping• Colonial Regions Quiz• Fill in P.L.A.C.E.S. for colonial regions in ISN.• Colonial Placement Program Activity
British Colonization1607-1733
Between 1607 and 1733, the British founded thirteen colonies on North America’s east coast and successfully ruled them for 169 years.
Other nationalities helped settled the colonies, but the population, language, laws and culture remained predominantly British.
Reasons for Colonization(motives for settlement)
Types of ColoniesPrivate enterprise financed all thirteen British colonies, but all
were required to govern by English law. Three kinds of colonies received charters from the king.
On the next clean page of your ISN, install the Thirteen Colonies Foldable. Use this chart to place them in chronological order. Shade the tabs by colonial
region and create a key for your notes.
Directions
• You will take notes on the development of each colonial region in your foldable utilizing PLACE + S.Physical Environment- how would you explain the
overall physical environment?Location- Where is it?Agriculture- What types of plants grow there? Soil
type? Natural resources?Climate- What the normal weather? Economy- How do people make money?Society- What’s the culture?

HOW CAN WE SUMMARIZE WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT THE COLONIES?A “one-pager” is a one page summary of what you have learned. The format is flexible and up to you, however, the whole page must be filled in. It must include a combination of pictures and words and it must be in color.
INSTRUCTIONS•Split your paper into three sections. Leave a center section for your title. Create a Title. Make it catchy! Label each section.
1.New England Colonies2.Middle Colonies3.Southern Colonies
•Write a summary about each region.1.At least 5 sentences.2.Include geography, climate, natural resources, and economic activity.
•Create an essential question about each region AND answer it. •Example: How did the geography of the Southern Colonies affect the economic activity of the region? ANSWER: The rich soil and long growing season made cash crop farmingvery profitable in the Southern colonies.•BONUS POINTS: Create “Level 2” questions. These questions will force you to think critically about what you have learned when you answer them.
•State one main idea about the colonies and put that in the center of your one-pager under the title.REMINDERS•Include at least 2 pictures per section to support your summaries.•The pictures can be drawn, printed, or cut from magazines.•FILL IN ALL OF THE WHITE SPACE ON THE PAGE. Use lots of color and be creative!
