American Colonist Postcard You are an American colonist in the

early 1700s. Create a postcard to a

friend in Europe encouraging him or her

to settle in your colony.

Write your message on one side of the

postcard and color a picture of a scene

from your colony on the other side.

Choose a colony based on your choice at the Colonial Fair—one that you would have

most likely settled in. Use your handout notes & spoke diagram.
