Objective and Scales:

• Student will be able to investigate the Southern colonies in respect to reasons for founding, religion, culture, and politics with 80% accuracy.

• Where does today’s objective fit into the LGS, what goal are we achieving today?

• Yes, goal F• How do we reach mastery?

South Carolina: Founder

• By the 1660s colonists had moved South beyond the colony’s boarders

to every freeman who came to SC, plus 150 extra for an indentured servant

South Carolina: Climate and Geography

• Long, hot, humid summers• Short, mild winters• Long growing seasons• The coasts were low and

swampy called the tidewater region

• Large plantations and small farms were started

Bell-work 9/12/13

• Critical Thinking: How do you believe the Southern Colonies climate and geography impacted their economy (how the colony made money and sustained itself)?

• EQ: What made the Southern Colonies unique

• TSWBAT investigate the Southern Colonies

Objective and Scales:

• Student will be able to investigate the Southern colonies in respect to reasons for founding, religion, culture, and politics with 80% accuracy.

• Where does today’s objective fit into the LGS, what goal are we achieving today?

Georgia: Founder

• King George II founded Georgia in his name in 1732

• The job of setting up and running the colony was given to James Oglethorpe (a political idealists)

• Wanted to create a utopia in Georgia

Georgia: Reason

Reflection: Double Bubble Map

• Compare and contrast the colonies of S. Carolina and Georgia using a double bubble map.

Bell-work 9/13/13 Go WOLF PACK!!!

• Summarize in one paragraph the colony of Jamestown..You can reference your Cornell Notes

• EQ: What colony would I settle?

• TSWBAT investigate the Southern Colonies

BELLWORK IS DUE TODAY!

ARE YOU GETTING FULL CREDIT?

Objective and Scales:

• Student will be able to investigate the Southern colonies in respect to reasons for founding, religion, culture, and politics with 80% accuracy.

• Where does today’s objective fit into the LGS, what goal are we achieving today?

Following the leader, the leader

Glue it up

• Pg 15: middle colonies matrix• Pg. 16: Penn Cirlce Map• Pg. 17: Southern Colonies matrix• Page. 18: Declaration of interests

Declaration of Interests:

• You should write a statement of interest on page 18 of your INB

• You should address using evidence from your 3 colonial matrices what colony you would settle if given the choice

• You have to tell me what about the colony is appealing to you (use the matrix) and what you plan is once you arrive
