Due:
B.6 - 13 Colonies Notecatcher
Please complete the note catcher to the best of your ability using pages 47-59 of your textbook.
Please note that textbook only covers 8 of the 13 colonies, so you might be unable to include founding purpose, primary source quotes, or key terms for five of the colonies. Still, you can include colony names and refer to the map on page 50 for some information about the geography and economy.
My notes on Massachusetts are attached! Notice that I...
included a legend for symbols on the map
used additional symbols to remind me about key ideas (religion, peace)
captured the main idea of the colony's founding
included and BOXED the key term "Mayflower Compact" from the text (because it's important!)

A.2 - Life Map Sketch
Please create a sketch or "scribble" of a "Life Map" by considering the places (or activities) that are a regular and important part of your life and making a visual representation of how they are connected. A sketch should take no more than 15 minutes (hopefully closer to five!), and we'll be remaking final versions later this week.
