Pick one of the thirteen colonies and research them. Your final draft should be 3 paragraphs. It should also include a picture of your colonial leader and a map of the colony. If you choose, you may type your project for extra credit.
Your research project should answer the following questions.
- What year was your colony found?
- Who was the leader of your colony?
- Why did your leader start your colony?
- Why did you pick that colony?
- What is one interesting fact about your colony?
- What is one thing you like about your colony?
- What is one thing you don’t like about your colony?
Of course, you may include additional information.
