Students researched the 13 Colonies. Students read about colonial life in general in class and then read about the New England, Middle and Southern Colonies in the media center. Students then chose a region they would like to have settled. Students then dug deeper and researched each colony within that region. From there, students then had to choose a particular colony to settle and understand what life would have been like at that time. Students then presented, using a Prezi, about their chosen colony and why they would settle it.
