Our unit is well underway and students are learning about the New England, Mid-Atlantic and Southern Colonies. Students will choose from the 3 regions, conduct a more in-depth inquiry and begin writing their historical journals. If your child would like to view any of the videos from class they are located under the Websites for Students Tab. Students have a checklist of all the learning activities and assessments in this unit in their Unit of Inquiry Binder. I have included the tasks in the document below.
