Standards
5.4 Students understand the political, religious, social, and economic institutions that evolved in the colonial era.
1. Understand the influence of location and physical setting on the founding of the original 13 colonies, and identify on a map the locations of the colonies and of the American Indian nations already inhabiting these areas.
2. Identify the major individuals and groups responsible for the founding of the various colonies and the reasons for their founding (e.g., John Smith, Virginia; Roger Williams, Rhode Island; William Penn, Pennsylvania; Lord Baltimore, Maryland; William Bradford, Plymouth; John Winthrop, Massachusetts).
3. Describe the religious aspects of the earliest colonies (e.g., Puritanism in Massachusetts, Anglicanism in Virginia, Catholicism in Maryland, and Quakerism in Pennsylvania).
1. Justify how this project/activity/assignment meets the standard, using evidence from the standard itself to demonstrate your mastery and/or understanding.
Standard 5.4 states that students need to know how the colonial era's political, religious, social, and economic origins changed. Standard 5.4.1 states that students need to know the locations of the 13 original colonies in the map, as well as the places where the American Indians already lived. Standard 5.4.2 states that students need to know who founded the colonies, and why they founded them. Standard 5.4.3 states that students need to be able to describe the early colonies' religion. This project meets the standards, because I had to elaborate on one of the 13 colonies, Massachusetts. I had to explain its economy (how they earned money), talk about who founded this state, and etc. This is how the project meets the standards.
2. Elaborate on at least 1 skill and/or strength you feel you gained from completing this project.
One skill I've gained from completing this project is researching. I needed to use trustworthy informational sites to get my facts from. I also had to put the information in my own words by summarizing them so that I don't plagiarize.
3. Upon reflecting on your work/score, what is ONE area of work you could have done better on? How will improving in this area benefit future work/projects?
Upon reflecting on my work, I could have done better on this project by adding more detailed facts. Doing so will help the people reading my brochure understand the topic more. Improving in this area can help me earn a higher grade for my future projects. This is how I can improve on this project.
4. How will you presently apply the content and skills you learned from this assignment in the real world (outside of the classroom, particularly in today’s society). Make connections between the content and your life.
I can presently apply the skill of researching in the real world if I need to write an article about a certain topic. I can presently apply the skills of time management in my daily tasks, such as doing homework, or even going to school. This is how I can presently apply the skills I've learned from this project outside of the classroom.
