Dear 5th Graders,
You have an important job to do! Fourth grade students will be learning a little bit about the 13 Colonies soon, so you will create a resource they can use while they're learning. You will design a Power Point presentation. Through your research, your team will discover the similarities and differences between the Southern, Middle, and New England Colonies. You must make your Power Point slide show as a team, and the grade you receive will be based on the rubric. I have attached a few links you can use to help you with your project.
Good Luck!
-Ms. Waterous
