This project was hard because it took a long time to learn everything about the thirteen colonies. At first we got packets about the Northern Colonies, Middle Colonies, and Southern Colonies.
Then we chose what we wanted to do our project, I picked the Southern Colonies. Because It was different then the other colonies because all the other Colonies did not have everything the Southern Colonies had and I knew I would be able to find the most information with the Southern Colonies.
Next I had to do research for the Southern Colonies and it was hard because I had to think of what would be important for what I was going to write about. It was also hard because I had to go through a lot of books and use different websites until I had a lot of information.
I first started looking in my packet for the Southern Colonies. Then I looked at the books. After that I had to pick my most important information. That I researched to highlight it. And then I had to choose how to split up my research like if I wanted to do a section with women, children, geography, food, enslaved people, plantation owners. That is how I decided how to split up my research. Then I picked how I wanted to organize my research.
The options were infographic, google slides, or a poster. I picked a poster. I picked the poster because I felt like it could help me be able to pick how I wanted to do everything because I do it all by myself.
For the poster I had to organize and write everything in pencil.
Next I had to trace everything in sharpie. The funnest part of this project was doing the poster because it was fun to see how much work and research I have gotten through and I got to organize it how I wanted to.
My least favorite part of this project was tracing everything in sharpie because it hurt my wrist. The easiest part of this project was research because for the Southern Colonies there was a lot of information. This project took about two weeks so it was long but it was really fun to learn more about the Southern Colonies because I was really interested in it.
This project was also really good because we got to learn a lot about all the thirteen colonies and life in the colonial time.
This project started out hard because I did not know what I was going to do but in the end I knew what I was doing and got through the project really fast.
I would not have done anything different. But if I had to change something I would probably get a little bit more information about food.
I liked doing this project by myself because I got to pick everything and almost all the other projects that we did we had groups. I also liked this project because I got to do more work with the Southern Colonies. This was a hard but fun project.
