 * **Summary/Overview:** Students will study six of the thirteen American colonies by reading and researching from internet sources and their S.S. book. Once all the information is collected students will decided on which colony they would like to move to if they were living in England during the colonial time period. Students will complete a processing assignment by writing an imaginary letter to their family letting them know where and why they have decided to move to the colony. Next students will be split into groups and will use their letter and notes to create a commercial promoting the colony they chose to live in. Students will use storyboarding templates to help them create an outline for their commercial. Then they will use imovie to record their commercials.
