American History/Projects

A documentation of previous, current, and possible future projects for the American History class.

Colony Project
You as the "teacher". Research the establishment of your given colony (or colonies). You will need at least 2-3 different sources; try to obtain sources with differing points of view. Please have a bibliography of your sources.

Prepare a 5-10 minute lesson about the colony/colonies. Feel free to use notes; however, you don't have to turn in a written copy.

Feel free to use posters, pictures, or other visuals, as well as quotes from original sources.

Be sure to answer the questions:


 * WHO (founder, leaders of colony, various peoples within)?
 * WHEN?
 * WHERE?
 * HOW?
 * Most importantly, WHY and WHAT WERE THE RESULTS?

Practice at home to make sure you are well within your time limit. Please make sure to speak clearly and have clear explanations; also, be prepared to answer any questions the class may have.
