Facts about the Thirteen Colonies

John Smith

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.
