Unit One: The 13 Colonies


We will begin our study of our nation's history starting with the settling of the 13 Colonies.
The guiding question for this unit is: What is our country's foundation made of?
This unit will take approximately five school days to complete. By the time you are finished with this unit you will understand the following ideas:


  • People came to the colonies for different reasons, such as freedom from religious persecution, economic incentives, or being kidnapped and enslaved.

  • The Europeans that settled the 13 colonies dramatically altered the landscape of the territories they settled.

  • The Europeans forever changed the lives and cultures of the Native Americans.

  • The New England, Middle, and Southern colonies had many differences.

Below are your assignments for this unit. Read the directions for the due date, expectations, and method for receiving points for each assignment.

Assignment 1: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

Write a paragraph response to the following questions to get you thinking about this unit. This will be your first blog post

1. What motivates immigrants to come to the United States (today)? Consider what they lose and what they can gain in your argument.

2. Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?

* Write your response as a blog post. Leave a comment on this post telling me when you have published your post. *20 possible points.

You will take a vocabulary quiz after you have turned in your vocabulary assignment. 44 possible points for vocabulary assignment, and 11 possible points for the quiz.

Assignment 3: Jamestown Adventure

In 1606, some 105 adventurers set off from England to try and establish the first permanent English colony in the New World. They settled in what is now the state of Virginia and called their colony first James Fort, and then James Towne, in honor of James I, the King of England. The early years of the colony were nearly a total disaster. Almost half of the settlers died due to poor choices in settlement location, management of resources, and quarrels with the indigenous Powhatan Indians.

Assignment:
Can you do any better than the real colonists? Click here to begin this adventure by following the instructions set for you.

* Type your answers in the chart. Be sure to add your four pieces of advice for part II as well. Place the completed assignment in Mrs. Siegmund's drop box and notify her when you have completed these tasks. * 28 possible points.

Sort of I forgot most german but when I visit my grandma every summer she whips me back into shape and trys to teach me stuff so I say , I can speak so so :"ich bin auf meinem Deutschen ein wenig rostig, aber ich mag diese Kategorie bis jetzt! , sind Sie von Georgia?" translations "i am a little bit rusty on my german but i like this class so far!, are you from Georgia?"

carrie said...

Lea- What a talent! I am so jealous that you get to go to Germany every year. My roots go back to Germany, but I was raised in St. Louis. I'm glad you like the class so far!

Small world....A Siegmund family in Georgia? I never knew. Almost nobody in the USA spells the name correctly! It is amazing what a Google Alert will reveal. The southernmost Siegmunds I was aware of are living in North Carolina, unless you count the other south, Hawaii, where I come from. Nice use of the computer for class work!
