This resource package covers the foundational information about the 13 Colonies including hard-to-find materials on the Backcountry. Each region is thoroughly explored through the presentation slide deck. Introductory and background information about backers and sponsors and why people chose to come to North America is also included.

Topics explored:

• Background
• New England Colonies (including info about Jamestown and Plymouth)
• Middle Colonies
• The Backcountry

The information is divided into the THREE COLONIAL REGIONS (New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies) and THE BACKCOUNTRY. The following topics are developed for each region:

• Reasons for Settling
• How Governed Selves
• Geography
• Climate
• Resources, Products, Crops
• Economy/Jobs
• Interactions With Native People
• Cities and Challenges

The best part? There's virtually no prep work involved other than copying the notes sheet, (unless you prefer to assign it electronically, of course).

The student pages are expertly crafted in a Cornell Note format, with the left-hand column reserved for instructions, questions and responses, while the right-hand column provides space for filling in the blank notes as the teacher guides students through the presentation and doodling.

Additionally, the resource incorporates Guided Notes / Doodle Notes™: a skillful integration of words, images, numbers, and shapes for the purposes of learning. It is an approach that combines traditional methods with visual elements like drawings, diagrams, and icons.

The "Let’s Recap" pages are designed to help students consolidate their learning. These pages feature a variety of question types, including cause & effect, fill-in-the-blank, open-ended, multiple choice, fact or opinion, and choose-one questions. While teachers don't have to use all three pages, they serve as fantastic tools for checking understanding, as exit tickets, or even as a summative assessment.
