Social Studies: Colonies
" I Can" ...
- compare and contrast life in the three regions of Colonial America: New England, Mid-Atlantic (Middle), and Southern colonies
- classify the colonial regions using distinguishing characteristics including geography, climate, resources, economic development, culture and population
- describe how the area's geography led to economic development in the region (e.g., in New England, swift rivers led to industries/factories; poor, rocky soil hampered development of large farms; in the south, a longer growing season, warm climate, and fertile soil led to farming as basis for economy)

- explain how the physical geography of each colony helped determine economic activities practiced therein
