QUESTIONS/IDEAS TO UNDERSTAND:
- You need to know the story of each colony’s founding. So, it’s the WHO, WHY, and HOW of the founding. I’m not so interested in the years, as long as you know Virginia was first and Georgia was last.
- You must be able to label the map of the colonies and SPELL THEM CORRECTLY!!!!
- You need to know the characteristics of each section of the colonies (NEW ENGLAND, MIDDLE, and SOUTHERN). How were they different? (geography, economy, government, religion, lifestyle, people, etc.) What did all three sections have in common?
TO STUDY:
- Organize your notes. Make a big chart of all the colonies. The chart can have columns like Founder, Year, Reason for Founding, Settlements, Important People, Events
