IntroductionLife was quite different during the colonial time period in American history. During the 1700s, the people did not have the modern conveniences that we enjoy. When you learn about the different trades of this time period you gain a better understanding of how different colonial life truly was. w

Researching with the Big6™!

Define the information problem, the task.

First-------

The Task

Working in a group of 3 to 4 students, you will research a trade that was done during the 1700s. Then, dressed in colonial clothes, each student will “play the part” of a colonial child and share information the group has learned about the trade that they researched. Your information will be supported with power point slides the group has created that will help illustrate the trade. Along with other “colonial kids” trade groups, your presentation will be made to people of the 21st century.
