In class we are doing a colonial america reenactment. As you might guess, we chose something to colonize. I chose New England. So we picked our jobs, did a bunch of note taking and are now setting up our colonial backstory. Our teacher told us to not make the backstories that sad but some of us didn’t follow the directions…. Anyway, things have been going great. I am happy with my job as a governor, and I am really happy with my colony’s name, Rockwood. Also, we made a “charter” and covered it with brown paint, so it would look old. Funny, isn’t it? We made a map of Rockwood, and I am happy to say it looks pretty good. We are working together well, and after a week of no activity we are stating to kick off again.

This has been my favorite unit yet. It’s so independent! Our teacher is not doing anything. I also loved this unit because I can impersonate someone from 1607. (Which is awesome). We can make character traits that we don’t have our self. I always loved and found Colonial America very interesting.

But I think its going to be difficult working together. I have learned that this class is not very good at working together. We already had a few mishaps, but I think this is going to go okay, maybe. Well, we may have had more than a few mishaps….. I’m trying to keep everything organized, like “who’s notes are who’s” and “don’t delete some else’s stuff”. Those kind of things.

In my other blog post, Colonial America – pt 2 – Persona, you can see my person’s backstory and laugh your head off!
