Colonial Towns and Townspeople


Description

This domain will continue students’ journey as they learn more about the early history of our country. Students already know that the Pilgrims came to America from England, seeking religious freedom from read-alouds in Columbus and the Pilgrims domains. The setting for Colonial Towns and Townspeople is more than 150 years later, after the colonies had been firmly established. These read alouds will acquaint students with what daily life was like for the people who lived during these times, and how very different it was from students’ own present-day experiences. This background knowledge will help set the stage for an in-depth understanding in later grades of specific historical events that also took place during colonial times. During these years, America evolved from a small group of dependent British colonies to a growing, independent nation.
