Instructional Activities

1. Review previous session’s activity, as needed.
   
   
2. Begin discussion by having students focus on the southern colonies not yet covered. Students should participate in the discussion using the information identified in their completed chart. They should correct or amend their chart during discussion. Examples of questions to guide discussion include:
   • Where are the southern colonies, other than Virginia?
   • What groups settled in the other southern colonies?
   • Who were the key individuals associated with the settlements?
   • Where did they come from and why? (Include details of the circumstances in which these individuals were living prior to coming to America. Include the length and conditions of the journey and the probable route taken.)
   • When were these areas/regions settled?
   • What type of government was established upon arrival? How did this government compare to the one in the settlers’ previous country.
   • Who supported or financed the journey? Why?
   • What conditions did the settlers encounter upon arrival in the New World? What threats did they face?
   • What type of agriculture or commerce was most successful in the areas?
   
   NOTE: To assist students who have disabilities or limited English proficiency, these questions may be printed on a handout with space for students to take notes during discussion. Label the handout “Information on the Other Southern Colonies.”
