Colonies Jigsaw

Today, the 6th graders are finishing up their final unit, which was about the American colonies.  They are taking their test today.  Earlier this week, the class was split up into three groups.  Each group researched one of the three regions of colonies (New England, Middle Colonies, Southern Colonies). Then, they looked for similarities and differences between the colonies and taught one another what they had learned.  This unit is preparing them for 7th grade social studies, which will cover early American history, starting with the French and Indian War.  Have a great summer!
