The New World Colonies Research
You are going to choose one of the various colonies (or colony groupings) established by Britain, France, Spain, or Russia in the Americas and learning more about it.
You are going to be adding a slide to the attached document, please create your slide on your own document and then copy-and-paste it over into the class document. On your slide, you are going to need the following:
What country founded the colony.
When the colony was founded.
Why the colony was founded.
What the colony produced for the mother country.
Why people moved (or were forcibly relocated) to the colony.
How the colony became independent of their mother country (optional).
Your slide should also have a title with the colony's name as well as an image of the colony (map, painting). Once you are done with your slide, you will copy-and-paste it into the class document. Once everyone is done, we will have brief presentations (no more than 30-60 seconds each) about the colonies.
