Building Our Colony #2 – Diary Entry

It was a beautiful day when we starting working. The air was fresh, the sun was out, but it was still cold. We already have the materials to build. The cobbler’s house is turning out quite pleasant. The town seems dreamy and very cozy indeed. I’m so excited to live in our brand new big house. The grass started growing! It’s very lush and green and has very many flowers. The rivers are very beautiful too. The ocean is at it’s very blue. My wife gets to do most decorating, in fact most of the women too. Men do all the house building, courageous women do some building too. Emma asked me earlier if she can build. What a dog! I told her definitely no, she is way too young and she should be playing in the fields with her friends. Anyway, the building went fine. Everyone is fine and nothing was broken while fixing things.

Colonial America – pt 2 – Persona

My name is Scott Hannie Peterson. I am a male. Now I am 20 years old. I live with my wife and daughter. We are a very happy family and live on a plantation. My backstory started when I was 17 I married a women name Jeanie. She was a kind person. I knew I would live with her forever but then she killed a woman named Maggie Anderson’s husband. His name was Jeffery. I told Maggie I was very sorry and divorced Jeanie, from this day on I will never forget her and what she did. Then a while after I met a woman in a store named Maggie Anderson, I didn’t know it would come to this day to meet her and marry her, but I did marry her. I made a decision that I would marry her and wouldn’t betray her. A few months later we had a daughter, we named her Emma Peterson. We were happy we had a child. Almost a year later my parents decided to give my wife and I full ownership of the plantation in the Southern Colonies. So we moved there and started a brand new life with many different people that were strangers to us at first but they are now our family. We live with our slaves, cooks, and maids. We enjoy are life very much and are very happy to be a wealthy family.

My job is all about being fierce and taking ownership of my colony. I work hard and still play with my children. My wife also helps me feed the slaves after dinner, manage my colony, get to all my meetings and more. As a plantation owner I tell people what to do, it’s almost like I control them! My people are hard working and do not disobey my laws and rules. If they do they get a punishment, it’s on the charter. It’s hard being a plantation owner. Whenever someone needs to tell me a complaint it stresses me. I still hang out with my family and have fun. We have christmas parties and invite others. We like to eat gourmet meals and enjoy having banquet dinners.

 

Colonial America – pt 1 – Overview

We are doing a project about Colonial America. 8 people in each colony. There are 3 colonies. Each person in a colony has a role/job. From blacksmith to plantation owner. After we figure out more about our jobs and relationships we are going to “build” a colony out of cardboard. The colonies were… Southern, Middle, and New England. We made charters and maps already. Our teacher doesn’t help us much so we can do this on our own. She throws obstacles like hurricanes or native attacks and we have to solve it. Group work is going to be hard because a lot of people won’t back down on their idea.
