Your Task

Here ye, here ye.  You have been hereby duly selected by his nobleness, Colonel Corell, to complete a quest of great importance

 

You will henceforth do the following:

  • Research a designated colony in the Americas.  I may want to take a vacation there some day.  Find out who settled in your colony, who are the important people in its history, and what is their colony’s economy based upon.
  • You must fill out an area map, labeling the colonies and one major city found in each. 
  • Write a formal report about your designated colony, explaining its movement, region, location, interaction, and place.  It should be at least one page long, and should be addressed to me.
  • Organize a visual presentation, with members of your small group.  This may be something done on poster board.  It will include the aspects of your research topics.  Do not use too much glitter glue; it gets my bile up, and then I must be leeched.

 

 

The Process

The first resources you may use are the links on the left hand side of this webpage.  Click on your colony’s link to find information.  Do not blindly serf the internet.  You will remain on this page, or on one of its links unless otherwise told.

 

The second resource you may use is your textbook.  Much of the information you need is found there.

 

You will use a word processor and the program Inspiration to write and organize your Mr. Lip paper.

 

 

Grading

  1. Your Mr. Lip paper is an individual grade that is worth 60 points.  Look at rubric.
  2. Your visual presentation is a small group project that is worth 20 points
  3. Your map is a large group project that is worth 20 points.
