Plan and build a project representing one colonial region, showing its geography, economy, and daily life, plus one honest fact about Native relations or slavery in that region.
This week you become the historian, choosing one of the three colonial regions from week 11 and building a project -- a poster, a diorama, or a written report -- that shows three things together: the region's geography and climate, its main economic activity, and one detail of daily life for a family living there, using what you learned in weeks 11 and 12.
A respectful, complete project does more than look nice: it also includes one honest fact from weeks 13, 14, or 16 -- something true about that region's relationship with nearby Native nations, its use of enslaved labor, or its practice of self-government. Someone looking at your finished project should come away with a real, accurate picture of that region, not just its most pleasant details.
Mastery looks like: They complete a project that accurately shows one region's geography, economy, and daily life, plus one honest fact about Native relations, slavery, or self-government.
Common stumbles: Picking details that do not actually match the chosen region; leaving out the honest fact and showing only the pleasant, postcard version.
