In Social Studies we began our unit learning about the 13 Original Colonies. For this project, in groups of 1-3 students, each group is making a Travel Video about their chosen colony. After researching and storyboarding their idea, they will be creating a 90 second video to try and persuade future settlers to move to their colony.
Today students picked their groups, chose their colonies and began to research all that makes their colony unique.
Over the next 2 weeks students will storyboard and ultimately choose the best way to complete their video. Videos will be finished on Friday, February 26th.
I've linked up a few of the documents the students are using for this project. Check them out!

We will be working on this project on the following days: Wed 2/17, Fri 2/19, Mon 2/22, Wed 2/24, and Fri 2/26. Students are welcome to bring in their own device (laptop, tablet, phone) on any of these days as long as it is being used to help their group create their video. Students will also have access to class chromebooks.
