The Founding of the 13 Colonies

1. 
   Let’s do watch some video first. When the video is over, I will ask you a few questions
   

2. 
   Problem solving! We will now complete 2 activities on the founding of the colonies. You will work both alone and in groups. Listen as to how we will move every so often!
   

3. 
   THE INVESTIGATION! We will now move into new groups for our next activity. Each group will be assigned a different colonial region. It is the job of each group to research and investigate the following:
   

1. 
   Why were the colonies founded?
   
2. 
   Who were the founders?
   
3. 
   What were the economic and political aspects of that region?
   
   1. 
      What was their economic success based on?
      
   2. 
      How did geography impact the economy?
      
   3. 
      How was the government organized?
      
4. 
   What was the prominent religion…if any?
   
5. 
   Were there any interactions with Native Americans? Describe these.
   
6. 
   How was the social classes structured within the region? Did you have slaves? Servants?
   
7. 
   Was there an education system?
   
8. 
   What did people do for fun?
   
9. 
   Was your area more rural or urban?

“FFV” First Families of Virginia – the largest landowners, earliest settlers, usually political leaders, married each other

Society overall -

The Middle Passage

1. 
   Religion played a dominant role in the establishment and lifestyle of many of the colonies
   

2. 
   The factors which made the colonies economically successful were largely determined by geography.
   

3. 
   The quality of life in the southern colonies was very different from that in the Northern colonies.
   

4. 
   The degree of democracy experienced by an individual in the colonies depended on who they were and where in the colonies the lived.
   

Each group will create bumper stickers reflecting the 13 colonies. Students will create 2 bumper stickers – 1 reflecting the region or colony in which they would have most wanted to have lived, and 1 about the colony where they would not wanted to have lived. The bumper stickers must reflect the culture, economy, or the geography of the area. Excellent bumper stickers will have all these attributes:

Rules:

1. 
   All must be 8 words or less
   
2. 
   Must be appropriate and not contain any profanity
   
3. 
   Should be colorful, and may contain drawings
   

1. 
   “You’ve got a friend in Pennsylvania”
   
2. 
   “South Carolina: Swampy, Sweaty, Sickly”
   

Take the following PEV’s and make then connect in terms of colonization.

Cash crop

Mercantilism

Bacon’s Rebellion

1. 
   Name at least 3 spiritual beliefs that Charles Chauncy considers to be dangerous.
   

2. 
   What 2 objections to “religious affection” does Edwards discuss in his essay?
   

3. 
   Which view of religion – that it is “a sober, calm, reasonable thing”, as Chauncy believed, or that it “has its seat chiefly in the heart, rather that in the head,” as Edwards believed – seems to have prevailed in American culture? Explain your answer.
   

4. 
   Jonathan Edwards and other New Lights based their theology and their preaching on strong assumptions about the nature of God and the nature of human beings. Essentially, what were those assumptions? Use some quotations to illustrate your point.
   

5. 
   The Great Awakening produced a number of new sects and denominations, weakening the tradition of having one official state church to which people were required to belong. What consequences was this likely to have in 1789 when the Americans were deciding on the relationship of church and state in their new government?
