The students were interested in the development of the walled protection, harbor, railroads, and racetrack. The activity was then introduced as an individual lesson, in which the boards and pre cut game pieces (contained in an envelope) were passed out. The students were told that they were going to design the cities of r zU Quebec, New York, and Savannah. The students then worked to arrange their pieces on the map. On each map were specified do not build areas, which varied from swamp to dense forest. The colony of Quebec had less buildable area, but also had less game pieces to work with. In addition to the gradient of background colors (dark green to tan) that varied with temperate zone, these various backgrounds helped created diversity while keeping the building pieces alike between the four colonies. http://lbdcharleston.blogspot.com/October 9, 2008 s z WNTR 2005 M 35.
