  1. EQ: What made the Southern colonies unique? TSWBAT investigate the Southern colonies HAVE OUT YOUR RESEARCH ORGANIZER, IF YOU DON’T HAVE IT WRITE FOR HW: RETURN SIGNED HW SLIP, ‘ FINISH RESEARCH Bell-work 9/11/13 Remembering September 11th video and reflection

  2. Objective and Scales: • Student will be able to investigate the Southern colonies in respect to reasons for founding, religion, culture, and politics with 80% accuracy. • Where does today’s objective fit into the LGS, what goal are we achieving today? • Yes, goal F • How do we reach mastery?

  3. South Carolina: Founder • By the 1660s colonists had moved South beyond the colony’s boarders • In 1663, King Charles II granted a charter for a new colony to be established called Carolina • Eight men (King’s buddies) were given ownership of S. Carolina in 1719

  20. Bell-work 9/13/13 Go WOLF PACK!!! • Summarize in one paragraph the colony of Jamestown..You can reference your Cornell Notes • EQ: What colony would I settle? • TSWBAT investigate the Southern Colonies BELLWORK IS DUE TODAY! ARE YOU GETTING FULL CREDIT?

  21. Objective and Scales: • Student will be able to investigate the Southern colonies in respect to reasons for founding, religion, culture, and politics with 80% accuracy. • Where does today’s objective fit into the LGS, what goal are we achieving today? • Yes, goal F • How do we reach mastery?
