The 13 Colonies

Use the links below to find information about your colony. Remember to write your information on your Organizer.
You may need to search on Worldbook Online, student search engines, or DKC resources, as well. Don't forget to use print resources (books), too!

After you finish finding all your information, you must create a brochure using Microsoft Publisher (see the template you will use). Be sure to follow the directions, and don't forget to evaluate your brochure.
