What was it like to live during colonial times? How was life different among the three colonial regions? What ideas would you have had about religion, slavery, and wealth if you lived in the New England colonies? Middle colonies? Southern colonies? The work you complete for this assignment will help you answer questions such as these and many more! You will be responsible for gathering and presenting your newfound knowledge to your classmates in Power Point form. By researching one of the three colonial regions, you will discover the advantages and disadvantages of living in the New England, Middle Atlantic, or Southern colonies. By the conclusion of this assignment, you will have also analyzed the difficulties faced by the settlers, the implementation of slavery as a source of labor, and the importance of religion in the colonists' lives. You and your group are working to create a Power Point about the three different colonial regions: New England, Middle Atlantic, and Southern. Each of you has been assigned a region, as well as given a graphic organizer for that particular area to help guide your study. You will have a better understanding of how the 13 colonies were founded upon completing the Power Point assignment. You will have learned about the three regions, slavery, religion, as well as how to work cohesively within a group/team. All pieces of that organizer must be completed before you may begin work on the Power Point itself. You are allowed to work with another "historian" in your region in order to obtain all of the necessary information before meeting with your Power Point group. You may create more slides, beyond the 4 slide minimum that is required; however, you will only be awarded extra credit for one of them (please keep in mind that you will be presenting this project, so don't make it too long). Content of extra slides must be approved prior to the creation of the slide. Once you are ready to meet as a Power Point group, you must elect one member as the task leader (more information follow on this), and let me know your choice. * An ADDITIONAL 5 points (towards your own grade) will be awarded to anyone who makes a colonial treat (food) to share with the class for the Power Point Presentation Party. The following links may be used as research sources; however, a minimum of 2 resources must be BOOKS. A bibliography must be included in the Power Point presentation for each group member (see sample sheet I gave you in September for proper format). Remember, you will be receiving 2 grades for this assignment: an individual grade (for the slides you created) and a group grade (for the overall appearance of the slide show, as well as for the presentation of the product).
