The Southern Colonies!

• Students took their final reading quiz. This one was on the Southern colonies. A discussion followed.
• Mr. M then transitioned the discussion towards the Plantation life of the Antebellum south (Pre-Civil War) that begins in the colonial period. 
• We looked at a basic layout of a plantation and talked about the need to be self-sufficient. They almost become like little towns. Then we viewed a few plantations which still exist.
• Students were randomly placed in groups for the Plantation Creation set for tomorrow.
