Colonial Time Schooling • School in Colonial Times: • There were very few schools in this time • Parents taught their kids to read and write using the Bible and hornbook which is a wooden board with a handle. • Boys go to grammar school and even advance onto college if wealthy enough.

Usually all in one room, there weren’t separate rooms or buildings; this was all done in one small specific room. RETURN

Colonial time Munch Time! • Farming and Food In Colonial Times: • *Very different in many ways than farming is done in today’s day in age. • *The most significant difference was in what crops were grown where. • *The American Colonists got their food from several places.

Return

19. Food/Farming Life TODAY • Food Today: • All we have to do today is go to the grocery store to buy what we are hungry for to cook at home. It is a lot easier than having to gather the family up to go fishing or hunting to hope in their hearts that they catch something so they have something to put in their stomachs that night and a couple more down the road. • We also do not have to cook every night, fast food or dining out are great options we have today especially for the families who can afford to do so. • Also, today we have a larger variety of food to choose from and pick when we want to eat.

22. Some jobs in Colonial times Apothecary Colonial apothecaries were what we think of as doctors. They treated patients, made and prescribed medicines, made house calls, and taught apprentices. Some even performed surgeries – and remember most surgeries occurred at the time without anesthesia. Even in the 1600s and 1700s, apothecaries were sophisticated in their knowledge of remedies. For example, they knew that calamine could be used to treat itchy skin problems and that heartburn could be cured with chalk (similar to modern-day Tums). Apothecaries often used leeches to “bleed” people and chinchona bark to treat fevers. Some Apothecaries crafted their own remedies from any number of substances, herbs, animal parts, and other mixtures. Wheelwright The wheelwright was important tradesman in colonial towns. They made wheels for wagons, carriages, and riding chairs. Because colonial roads were rocky and rugged, wheels had to be made to handle the rough conditions. Wheelwrights also built or repaired carts, wheelbarrows and wagons. Wheelwrights had to have precise measuring skills as well as knowledge of basic geometry. Wheelwrights were very important in farming regions, where farmers needed wheeled vehicles to move their crops. TIP: Create a Journal Entry Titled “Colonial Jobs” Jot down some ideas to take home! Cooper Coopers were tradesman who made casks, buckets, barrels, and containers for flour, gunpowder, tobacco, shipping, wine, milk, and other liquids. One kind of container, the hogshead, was used to ship huge quantities of tobacco from the colonies to England. Because the demand for containers was high, colonial coopers made millions of such containers every year. Although coopers are traditionally known for creating barrels (casks), it was actually the “tight cooper” who made them. Other coopers began specializing in making specific types of containers that they could mass produce quickly. Wigmaker In affluent villages and cities, full of wealthy landowners and plantations, the wigmaker was very important. Wigmakers made perukes (wigs) and fashioned the hair of the elite. Wigs were made of horse, goat, or yak hair and skillful wigmakers could customize a wig to the preferences of the customer or to the styles popular in London. The wigmaker was especially busy when the courts were in session as the judges and attorneys each required their own specialized hair pieces. Blacksmith The Blacksmith was an essential merchant and craftsman in a colonial town. He made indispensable items such as horseshoes, pots, pans, and nails. Blacksmiths (sometimes called ferriers) made numerous goods for farmers including axes, plowshares, cowbells, and hoes. They also made hammers, candleholders, tools, files, locks, fireplace racks, and anvils. Most of the blacksmith’s work was done in his personal forge in which scalding bars of iron were hammered with heavy sledges to fashion the iron into various shapes. Return

24. AWESOME JOB! This is the end of the lesson students, Now I know we learned and were shown so many different things back in a time that we never experienced and probably will never be able to. Unless……since we took all this time and effort to make notes and make up characters and people with the notes you took in all your journal entries, we could create our characters and dress up as them and present them on a date where our parents, friends, family, and fellow faculty could come in and watch us! This way you will be able to express how you fell about the colonial times and the life you live now. You could show them all the things you did in order to create your character, all the time and effort you put forth to learn all the new things about a time where you didn’t exist! This is your chance to maybe teach the audience something they didn’t know! Click Here to Return to the Title Slide for next student
