Colonial Regions

You need to pick one of the 3 Colonial Regions (New England, Mid-Atlantic, or Southern) we have studied, and write a "Day in the Life..." story using as many characteristics of that region from the Blue Packet as you can. Do not stop being creative until you have used all of them.

  1. I am Rob. I am in the New England colony. The winters are cold here. The state I am in is Massachutess bay. Here their is rocky soil. So we cannot plant crops. We have a lot of town meetings. They were held in villages and the church was the center of life. We had moderate winters. On the cliff side, we could see the... Boston Harbor. My life here is okay, even though I have to work every day here. Well thats my story. Hope you liked it!

  2. I live in Georgia. We have many plantations and large farms. But we have a small amount of schools but we keep most of the kids to help on the farms.

    We do have slaves and indentured servants. We get them to work on the farms. But whenever we walk away.... they try to run from us.We have humid climate and good harbors.

    We go to the the Church of England everyday. We praise the Lord everyday. But we always have fun. The kids love to play in the farms.

    We got a darn good life in Georgia!

  3. Isaac Jones lives in Rhode Island and he is going to see the Appalachian Mountains and this is the New England Colony. And here in the New England Colony there is a Boston Harbor and the Boston Harbor is a very pretty place to go visit. And also they have Hilly Terrain's and Rocky soil that you can hardly plant anything in that. And we have a jagged Coastline that is really cool to go look at when your up high. We have Moderate Summers there okay i guess it can get hot and sometimes it wont get hot. Here in Rhode Island the winters are very cold and we freeze our butts off in the winter so we try to keep inside in the winters and if we need to go outside then we will.
    Well that all i have to say about the New England Colony/ Rhode Island.

  4. When I moved to North Carolina.I was kinda excited.But when I found out I was going to become a slave I got disapointed. My first day as slave was terrible I had to harvest all the crops.I can already tell life is going to be hard for me.

  5. Here i am in Georgia its not fair that i hhave to pick cott









    Here i am in Georgia my name is Jainishia i i am 11 years old an i i am a slave .
    when i was five i was taken away from my mom. I don.t think its right to
    take a child from their mother so now i work on Mr. johnson plantation.
    He the meanest man alive. I am 24 now and i don't think we colors should
    have to pick cotton while the whites sit back an d sleep. We feel that its time
    for a change but most of us are to scared to say so thing because were we
    might get beat. One day this will end and we will be a whole.

  6. Here in Delaware it is awesome we have normal summers and cold winters. I live in the village, of course the city is to busy. The deep rivers are great for canoeing , and fishing. Over in Rhode island where i used to live they have rocky soil and we have rich farmlands. Here we have okay workers and fisherman. Living in Delaware has a way better economy than Rhode island did. I'm glad that I moved here.

  8. When I moved to virginia it seemed boring .I came from Rode Island.We had way more things to do up there. All you could do in virginia is go outside . But there are no kids so its no on to play with. And for dinner al we really eat is crops because we live on a big dumb plantation so my mom thinks that we don't need to go to the store thats why she bought the plantation!! I really wished we lived back in Rhode Island . I had a bunch of friends there . Here I don't even get to go to school! During the period of time I lived in virginia I only liked to do one thing and that was going to the river. Well I know one thing when I grown I moving to Rhode Island.

  9. Hi, my name is Popperbobberflo, and i am living in Massachusetts. Our climate moderate summers and our winters are cold. We live in jagged coastline, we also live near the Boston Harbor. Here there are hilly terrains, and rocky soil ( not good to plant crops in). We also live near the Applachian Mountains. The economy here is lots of town meetings, they were held in villages, and church was there center of life. It was centered around naval supplies, trade and port cities, fishing, shipbuling industry. The political life here is lots of town meetings. Our socal life is village and churchas centered of life. Religious reformers and separatist.

  12. Hi I am john and I live in the South in the state Virginia. I used to to live in Maryland though. If I could chose what colonial regions I would stay in the south but live in Maryland. I bet you want to know way I would live in the south right, well some reasons are that you can easily drive from Maryland to other geography regions like the Appalachian Mountains, the Piedmont and the Atlantic Coastal Plain could it get any better yes it can. If you are looking for a place to fish the south is the place to go because it has good harbors and rivers. All though there is one disadvantage it id really humid. If you like wide open space the south has large farms, plantations, cash crops, wood products, and also small farms. But you might want to stay away from land owners because control slavery. But you shouldn't worry about that if you do slavery because if you do then you get a mansion and a hole bunch of indentured servants. And if you are religion there is church called the church of England. So you should come now folks to validate call

  13. Hello,my name is Caitlynn and i am from Georgia. I am a slave my masters name is mr. Hardware. He named the plantation after himself, Hardware workers. Every weak my master travels to the nearest county. It was always humid so it made us even thirstier than we usually are. I make sure all of the worms are off the cash crops and i also make sure every slave gets a drink and much more. That is pretty much about my life in Virginia (it is horrible).

  14. As I walk though the New York dirt roads to the market towns.I look to my right and see the long fields of grain and live stock and then to the left and see fishermen. As I came close to the market I took out the money in my pocket and ran home with the fish.

  16. Hi Im Brooke and Im from Rode Island. Today when I was walking on a cold winter day. I felt something hard while I was walking ,it was rocky soil, hard and nasty. When I got home everyone was called to a town meeting about the taxes. Our taxes were very high for what we work for. We all dicusted with each other and our taxes went down a little. Here in Rode Island we are all mostly Purtians. A couple hours later there was another town meeting about the Boston Harbor. After that meeting it was dark and late so I went home and fell asleep.

  20. My name is Tina Bone and I live in Pennsylvania. Today I am visiting my cousins farm. I am going by myself, and I will be walking. It is a pretty far way to his house, but I love to walk. I live in a small village, I could've chose to live in a city, but I like the quiet of the village much better. As I am walking down the dirt road, I think about how different the lifestyles and religions are here. When I finally arrive at the farm, I help my cousin Hayden out with the livestock and grain. I help him and spend time with him all day until it gets dark. When it is dark and time for me to leave I realize I have to stop by the Market town to pickup some dinner. I see fishermen and workers on my way back home. I love living in Pennsylvania where the climate is moderate. I will live here forever!!

  22. Hi my name is Grace and I am from the Appalachian Highlands.On a hot day I went to go fishing and then I heard that somebody was selling something at the new market so I went over to find out what it was. When I went to see what was going on I saw a man sailing newspaper. The man was selling newspaper because he was talking about how someone got killed because they didn't do their job so every since then I did what i was suppose to do.
