Reporting Your Project
Persuasively present
your decisions based on your information.
Creating
your letter home and your persuasive presentation
Personal
Letter: Each student should create a letter that
persuades your family in England that the region you have selected is the
best one in which to settle.
§
Give reasons why you selected the area and why you felt
those were the most important reasons.
§
Include at least one reason from geography, one from
economy, and one from culture.
§
What was it about the geography that made this one
Colonial area a better place to settle than the other two areas? What was
it about the economy? The culture?
Tell
why you did not select the other two areas. What was it about the
geography, culture, and economics that did not fit your family’s needs?
Use
appropriate voice and word
choice for your audience, your own family, and your 1600’s
identity! How would you describe your favorite place to live to your
parents or brothers and sisters? What words would you use to convince
them that this would be the best area in which to settle?
Persuasive
Presentation: Each team creates a presentation that
demonstrates their understanding of the different Colonial regions.
§
Show how the geography, economics, and culture of each
area would affect your occupation.
§
Which area did you choose as the best for your family
occupation needs?
§
What was it about the geography that made it the best fit
for your family? What was it about the economics of that region? The
culture?
What
was it about the other two areas that made you choose not to
settle there? Be sure to include examples from geography, economics, and
culture.
