EXPECTED HOMEWORK - MASTER THE VOCABULARY TERMS ON PERSONAL QUIZLET ACCOUNT
Mastering the vocabulary words is a process that can be finished within a two week period.

Unit I : EXPLORATION OR DOMINATION -Colonial America

After completing the 7th grade course on ancient history, students will have studied how and why civilizations start, settle, and evolve. In this unit, students explore “How are successful societies built” by first establishing criteria for a “successful society.” Students learn that differing motivations and beliefs of Native Americans, Africans, and European contributed to the cooperation and conflicts that existed between the groups. The geography of the 13 colonies and its three regions, New England, Middle, and Southern, influenced the daily lives of all inhabitants as they cultivated the land, as well as were influenced by their surroundings. They study political and religious leaders' impact on the colonies.  Finally, students explore how slavery developed as a need for intensive labor, but quickly immerged as a deeply problematic institution in America. Students analyze historic maps and images to make conclusions about life in colonial America as well as firsthand accounts of encounters between the different groups.  Students are introduced to Cornerstone 1, “We the People…” and begin the prewriting for the testimonies they will deliver in the simulated Congressional hearings.
BIG Ideas
  • The 13 colonies and its three regions, New England, Middle, and Southern, influenced the daily lives of the inhabitants of the region in ways that would continue to define them well into the 20th century.
  • The cultural differences between Native Americans and Europeans contributed to the cooperation and conflicts that existed between these groups.
  • In colonial America, political and religious leaders begin to empower individuals and groups to experiment with differing visions of social life and organizational governance also influenced by colonists’ ideas of their rights as English subjects.
  • Initially as a response to the intensive labor required to harvest and produce crops in colonial America, slavery quickly emerged as a deeply problematic institution.
