Mind Mapping The 13 Colonies

The 13 Colonies, the beginnings of the USA. 
Let's Schoodle while we watch the first 18 minutes of America the Story of Us : Rebels.

After you've made some beautiful Schoodles grab a text book and some post-its and fill up the inspiration wall with appropriate information. I'll split you into 7 different groups and assign a section of information.
Under each of the Mind Map bubbles your group will add several post-its.
Notice the 13 Colonies are split into 3 groups: New England, Middle and Southern. Use your Schoodle notes and the textbook to find information.

 After all the post-its are up on the inspiration - make Cornell notes in your Interactive Notebook based on the posted information.

Extension: On your travel blog write about one of the colonies you would like to visit and why. Be descriptive and use complete sentences.
