The Founding of the 13 Colonies WebQuest

Introduction

Your expertise is needed immediately! We need three historians to report on the 13 original colonies. The information you provide will be used to teach others about colonial times. Through researching the colonization of America, you will discover the similarities and differences of the Southern, Middle and New England Colonies. For each region you will uncover the hardships that the settlers faced while creating a new life that was accepting of everyone. You will discover the challenges they faced territorial, differences and similarities, religious factors, new opportunities, and slavery issues.

 

After analyzing your findings, your team will create a 2 page newspaper using Microsoft publisher and a timeline (pictorial or using Timeliner software) to illustrate the colonization period.
