Colonial Project:

'Bye George, I'm Out of Here!!!

Teacher Information

The year is 1735. You and your family are living in England, under the rule of King George II. You are tired of George's authoritarian ways, and want to leave to settle in the New World. There are many colonies from which to choose, but your final destination will have to satisfy your needs.

Before you set sail, you will be required to research several colonies to ensure that you make the best choice. Make sure that your search includes at least one New England colony, one Middle colony, and one Southern colony.

Before your ship leaves port, you will need to present a packet of materials to the English port authorities before they will allow you to set sail for America. When your materials have been approved, your passport will be stamped.

These materials will include:

This page is your Home Port. You will return here after each task is completed.

You are anxious to move to the New World, so begin planning your packet of materials now!
