Description

Our 13 Original Colonies Lesson Plan identifies the 13 original colonies of the United States, the characteristics and founders of each, as well as other related information. As students compare and contrast the colonies, they develop their critical thinking skills and written expression. This interactive lesson also engages creativity as students devise a pneumonic for the order of the 13 colonies, as well as collaborative learning when students pair up to design a booklet.

At the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify the 13 original colonies of the United States, characteristics of each, founders of, and other related information. The students will be able to compare and contrast the colonies.

Great for multiple grades!

I used this simultaneously for 2nd and 5th grade students. It was a great tool for both grade levels.

Lesson Plans

Overall these lesson plans have been awesome for my students. It has really given me a place to start and to build off of since our current curriculum is 10 years out of date.
