Hello everyone! Wonderful job on your Chapter 3 Tests - I can tell that many of you have been studying and were well-prepared for today. :)
Just a few reminders about our upcoming challenges:
On Monday, we will gather with our colony members to finalize our colonial governments. I will have specific questions for you to answer regarding your government so you can take what you've brainstormed already and plug your ideas right into your official plan. (Afterwards we will have a class discussion about what's coming up in Chapter 4.)
We will use extra class time after taking notes to brainstorm with our colonies throughout the week. Remember, Thursday we will be building our 3D models! As you brainstorm/plan/research, remember to look for early colonial settlements and what they looked like (1600s - mid-1700s); don't confuse the modern "colonial-style" houses we have today for what homes looked like back then.
Remember that your group can choose to represent a large part of your settlement (several small houses, farms, etc.) OR can construct a larger model of an individual colonial property (1 house, often a small farm on the property). I will be providing all the main materials you'll need, but your group is more than welcome to bring in craft items you'd specifically like to use.
Happy brainstorming!
