The Task

As an expert about colonial trades, schooling, everyday life or clothing, you will be developing a column in the 'Colonial Times' newspaper to inform readers about your topic. Your task is to write a feature article on the lives of the colonists. Using information you find in this WebQuest and from other sources, you will write about a colonial tradesperson, teacher, student, mother, father or child. In addition to a news article, you will be designing either a business card, an illustration or an advertisement to go along with your write-up. The 'Colonial Times' newspaper will be distributed on Colonial Day to all visitors and classrooms, so make sure this is the best work you can possibly do!
