Colonial Jobs Digital Research Activity

Colonial times meet the digital age with this engaging web-based research activity that students can use in Google Drive™ or Microsoft OneDrive™. Students will show what they've learned about various colonial trades and occupations by typing information and adding pictures to the slides.

This makes a great independent project or a collaborative class activity during a Colonial America unit. No prep for you; no lost papers for them!

Slide contents include:

• an editable Table of Contents with hyperlinked slides
• 12 slides for various colonial trades/occupations (basketmaker, blacksmith, brick maker, cabinetmaker, cooper, farmer, printer, shoemaker, silversmith, tailor, town crier, and wigmaker)
• a blank Venn diagram that students can use to compare two trades or compare one with a similar job today
• an extra slide in case you want students to research a trade that’s not included

You'll receive:

• a link to the ready-to-use templates in Google Slides
• printable note-taking page
• step-by-step tutorial explaining how to share the slides with your students (both for Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive)

**Please note that you’ll need an internet connection, a laptop or tablet, and a Google or Microsoft OneDrive account.*
