Colonial America Research Projects

Settlers came to America to find religious freedom and to make money. They settled into 13 colonies, areas that are now the states known as New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maryland, Georgia, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Delaware. Last quarter we studied the 13 Colonies and life in Colonial America.
Although we have started talking about the American Revolution, we are wrapping up our Colonial America unit with a collaborative research project. Over the last month the students have been working in small groups to research one of the colonial regions of the 13 Colonies. They will be presenting the information on a glog. "A Glog is created using a very easy to understand, drag and drop interface that is relevant, enjoyable, and scalable for students of all ages and learning styles. A Glog is an interactive visual platform in which users create a “poster or web page” containing multimedia elements including: text, audio, video, images, graphics, drawings, and data." -edu.glogster.com

We are finishing up our 13 Colonies Glogs! Check back to see if yours has been posted.
