  • The founders of your colony and the year it was founded
  • Geographical characteristics of your colony
  • The role of religious development
  • Economic development
  • Slavery

  • Where were most of the settlers from? (England, France, etc)
  • Your colony’s role in the Revolutionary War.
  • Interesting facts
  • A Venn diagram comparing your colony to another (5 points of information in each region of the diagram)

Finally, you will need to include a persuasive paragraph on why you think people should live in your colony above all others. Include any other information that you might have learned that will convince your classmates that your colony is the coolest!
