Important Ideas about the New England Colonies Teacher Reference Sheet

(SCoPE SS050401)

Geography: • Important natural resources included the region’s dense forests and the sea. • The soil was rocky and many areas were not very good for farming. The farms that

existed were small. • A lot of settlements grew up along rivers. • Most of the colonies were quite small compared to colonies like Pennsylvania and the

Carolinas.

Civics/Government: • Town meetings were an important part of New England government. This was the way

people often made decisions. They voted on laws and on matters that affected the whole community. In most cases everyone could attend a meeting but only men who owned property could vote. Town meetings were also held to elect people to public offices. These offices included: constable, town crier, digger of graves, drummer, sweeper of the meetinghouse, and fence viewer.

• Puritan laws in the region were often very strict.

Economics: • Fishing, including whaling, became an important economic activity. • Many New Englanders also made money in trading. Ships owned by New England

merchants carried trade goods to and from many ports. • Fishing, whaling, and trading helped build the shipbuilding industry. The forests of New

England supplied the necessary wood. • Over time many other kinds of goods were manufactured in New England.

Culture: • The Puritans thought schools and education were important because they believed

everyone needed to be able to read the Bible. As new colonies were formed when people left Massachusetts Bay, education was valued in these places also.

• Religion was very important in this region. • There was not as much diversity in this region as there was in the Middle Colonies. • Towns were often organized in a similar fashion with a common in the center. Other

buildings included the meetinghouse, general store, blacksmith, school, and houses.

19

Important Ideas about the Middle Colonies

Teacher Reference Sheet

(SCoPE SS050402)

Geography:

This region had a longer growing season than New England and soil rich enough to grow cash crops.

Crops that grew well included corn, wheat, rye, and other grains. There were excellent harbors along the coast. Cities grew in these areas. This region had fertile river valleys such as the Hudson River Valley.

Economics:

Many people moved to this region to take advantage of the fertile farmland. Most of the people in this region made their living by farming. Immigrants such as those from Holland and Germany brought farming methods with

them. Cash crops were grown especially different kinds of grain. For this reason, this region

became known as the ‘Breadbasket Colonies.” Mills were very important in this region. Crops were sold in coastal market towns. Philadelphia had a lot of shipyards where ships were built and repaired.

Civics/Government:

William Penn set up a Frame of Government for Pennsylvania which included a legislature. People in this colony had rights including freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and trial by jury. These rights were common throughout the region of the Middle Colonies.

Although there were many towns in this region, town meetings like those of the New England region were not common.

Each colony in the region had a governor, a council of advisors to advise him, and a legislature.

Culture:

Immigrants from all over Europe came to this region. Market towns were important in this region. This region had a great diversity of people. New York and Philadelphia were important cities. Philadelphia had many large buildings including the statehouse which later became

Independence Hall. There were many different religions in this region. Since there was such variety in religion and language in this region, schools were

different than those of New England. Schools tended to be run by different types of churches. These were parish or parochial schools.

20

Possible answers for a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting the Middle Colonies and the

New England Colonies

Similarities:

Many people in both regions were farmers. People came to both regions for both religious and economic reasons. Both regions were made up of proprietary colonies in the beginning. Both regions had port cities with good harbors. Towns were important in both regions. Religion was important in both regions. The colonies had colonial legislatures in each region.

Differences:

The soil was much better for farming in the Middle Colonies. There was also a longer growing season.

There was more religious diversity in the Middle Colonies. There was more cultural diversity in the Middle Colonies. New England had more public schools than the Middle Colonies. Fishing and whaling was more important in New England. Town meetings were common in New England. New England towns were organized in much the same way. This was not true of

the Middle Colonies. The Middle Colonies grew a lot of cash crops. This was not true of New England. Although manufacturing was done in both regions, more was done in New

England.

21

Important Ideas about the Southern Colonies

Teacher Reference Sheet

(SCoPE SS050403)

Geography:

This region had good soil and an almost year-round growing season that was ideal for plantation crops.

There was a tidewater region of rich low-lying land along the coast where the first plantations began.

There were lots of waterways in this area that made it easy for boats to get crops to markets.

Crops like tobacco ruined fertile soil in only a few years. As land wore out near the coast, planters began to move up the rivers to higher land.

Forests in the region provided a lot of wood for shipbuilding. Economics:

There were a lot of small farms but the region was known for its large plantations. Crop buyers from England traveled the waterways with English-made goods like shoes

and tools, which they traded for cash crops. Plantations needed a lot of workers. Enslaved Africans were used to do the work. Plantations were largely self-sufficient. Everything needed was produced on the

plantation. Over time this region became dependent on slave labor.

Civics/Government:

Colonial assemblies, or legislatures, were found in all the colonies of this region. Wealthy planters especially those in the tidewater region held most of the political power. Planters were expected to provide some type of public service. They served in a colonial

legislature, as judges, etc. Laws relating to slavery called “slave codes” were developed and enforced.

Culture:

There were fewer towns and cities in this region. Plantations and farms were fairly spread out.

A few towns had grown by the mid 1700s. These included Charles town and Savannah. Later inland towns developed. Many of these were county seats that included a

courthouse and a jail. Because people lived far apart and there were fewer towns, there were fewer schools in

this region. Wealthy planters had tutors for their children or built a small school right on their plantation.

The Anglican Church, which was the Church of England, was the establish church in this region except for Maryland. Quakers and Puritans were often pushed out of the region.

Wealthy planters built huge, ornate houses on their plantations.

Lesson 7

Title: Colonial Life

Grade Level: 5th


GLCE:

U2.3.2 Describe the daily life of people living in the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. U2.3.3 Describe colonial life in America from the perspectives of at least three different groups of people (e.g., wealthy landowners, farmers, merchants, indentured servants, laborers and the poor, women, enslaved people, free Africans, and American Indians). U2.3.4 Describe the development of the emerging labor force in the colonies (e.g., cash crop farming, slavery, indentured servants). Abstract:

Students will be able to identify the pattern of settlement, the impact of geography on

settlement, native populations, and the growth of the New England Colonies economies.

Students will understand that religious tensions in Massachusetts led to the establishment of other colonies in New England. Students will understand the types of government established in the New England colonies.

Key Concepts: Regional differences in colonial America (development of emergent labor

forces, resources, geography, climate, types of government, economy, ethnic population).

Sequence of Activities (2-3 days):

(Teachers: depending on your time and resources, choose either #1 or #2 – the objective of

this lesson is for the students to understand the different occupations in a colonial

community. The GLCEs require students be able to describe colonial life from the

perspectives of at least three different groups of people. There are two sets of sequences

of activities; it is intended for teachers to use only one.

#1

1. Have students explore the website

http://www.history.org/Almanack/life/trades/tradehdr.cfm and complete the webquest

sheet.

2. Discuss the results with the class in small or large groups. OR

49





#2

1. Teacher: choose and create at least six stations to represent life in a colonial community.

2. Distribute role-play cards to students. 3. Students will research the trade they have on their role cards. The website

http://www.history.org/Almanack/life/trades/tradehdr.cfm can be used. 4. Students then create activities for each station based on the guidelines on the cards. 5. Each group needs to have a color coding or numbering system so that some of the

groups are stationary and some are traveling. 6. Have groups of students travel through the stations in groups to experience some of

the roles/occupations of a colonial settlement. 7. Use the Town Meeting Simulation sheet to re-enact a discussion that might have

occurred in the colonies. 8. Closure: Review the three types of resources (use the resource sheets from lesson 5).

A Map of the Five Regions of Africa Materials –

Construction paper – blue, green, yellow Pipe cleaners Yarn 5 Regions of Africa Patterns 5 regions of Africa Reference Map

Demonstrate/ Model -

1. A piece of blue paper 11”x 17” will form the base – this will represent water.

2. Tell the students to fold their blue sheet of paper “hamburger style”. The crease you have

made in the center will be the equator. Make a dotted line along this crease.

3. Hold up your pattern of Africa. Show your model. Tell the students that they will cut their land form from the green paper. (Africa and the island of Madagascar).

4. Hold up your model of Africa. Point to the yellow at the top and bottom. Tell students that the yellow will represent the regions of North Africa and South Africa.

5. Next, point to the pipe cleaner that runs north and south. Tell students that this represent the Great Rift Valley (a “crack in the earth” similar to the Grand Canyon in the U.S.).

Tell students that the Great Rift Valley is a physical geographic feature used by mapmakers to separate Central Africa from East Africa.

6. Next, point to the yarn that runs north and south. Tell students that this represents the division between West and Central Africa that mapmakers make based on human activity (not a physical feature).

7. Next, point to the dotted line on your model of Africa. This represents the Equator. Tell students to look at their cutout pattern. You will see on the East and West coasts of Africa the letter”E”. This is where the Equator is located. You will place the E of your

own green Africa map on top of the dotted line you drew for the Equator.

8. Next, tell your students that the latitude lines are important in defining the northern and southern regions of Africa. Locate on your cutout pattern the “15 N” and “15 S” marks.

9. Point to the dashed line north of the Equator. This dashed line represents 15 degrees North latitude. Point to the dashed line south of the Equator. This dashed line represents 15 degrees South latitude.

55




10. Tell students to look at their cutout pattern. You will see on the East and West coasts of Africa “15 N” and “15 S”. This is where the inside borders of North and South Africa are located.

11. Point to your key. Explain what it is. Tell your students, “You will make this on your

map.”

12. Point out your compass rose. Tell you students, “You will make this on your map.”

13. Point to your map title and labels. Tell your students, “You will write these on your

map.”

14. Point to the cartographer’s name. Tell your students, “This will be your name.”
