Where Would You Settle?

 

How do geography, culture, and economy affect where people live?

Bellingham Schools Research Investigation

5th Grade

 

Synthesizing
Think about the best choice using the information you gathered.

Use your printed Note Sheet as you complete the Research Summary Sheet. 

These questions should guide your thinking

·         How does the geography of the region affect your occupation?

  • How does the culture of the people in this region affect your occupation?
  • How does the economy of the region affect your occupation?

Decision Making: Which Colonial region has the most important characteristics for your family’s needs? Choose the region that you will suggest as the best place in which to settle. 

Open the Research Summary Sheet and save it as directed by your teacher. Fill in your information. 

·         Be sure to support your choice with at least three reasons why you selected the Colonial region that you did.

·         You need to include at least one reason for geography, one for economy, and one for culture.

·         Your team should also be able to explain why you did not choose the other two regions. 

·         If you need more reasons to make your choice, discuss the information on your Note Sheet, or go back to the websites to find more information.

 

Go to your teacher with evidence that you completed the steps above.Next
