Social Studies Notes...(cont.)
We have been studying the important individuals, who were essential in the formation of the British Colonies. In class, students worked alone, in small groups and in our large discussion group to read, take notes, discuss and study the first British Colonies in the New World. We created video strips (updated and due tomorrow), watched History.com videos on the Active Board and created word web notes for each of these individuals:
**The following founders will be included on the test tomorrow:
