Thirteen Colonies Project
Assigned: Monday, March 4th
Due: Tuesday, April 2nd
Colonial
Settlement Brochure
Directions: Pretend that you are a travel agent working for the New England, Middle, or Southern colonial region. Create a travel brochure that will catch the eye of a common European person. Your job is to encourage people from Europe to move to your colony and settle there. Be sure to include what the colony has to offer and what the colony does not. Identify which region (New England, South, or Middle) you are promoting and include pictures of your region.
Items to include:
1. Economics
• Jobs- How did they make money?
• Trade opportunities, what was traded?
• Food and Natural Resources, what can you take from the land?
• Slavery/Indentured servants. Did they have them, why/ why not?
2. Geography
• Geographic location, near what (ex. water)
• The type of land (good or bad)? Why?
• Names of each colony in the region
• The climate
3. Religion
•What religious groups settled there?
4. Culture
• Population- Who already lives there?
• Who founded each colony and for what reasons?
• Recreational activities-What did they do for fun?
• Arguments for why it is better than the other two regions.
• What were the region’s problems? What made the colony look bad?
Where do I find information about the colonies?
