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 activity for my class. Students got really engaged in learning about all facts. I was able to differentiate the lesson, using some of the videos and activities. Great resources!! I'll be looking forward to more titles in other subjects.Thanks!

I used this lesson as an opportunity for my students to create, organize, and review objective information about the colonies. It worked quite well as a supplement to our text.
