  4. Task You have just arrived in Colonial America by way of Professor Money Bags’ time machine. Your job is to learn all that you can about the region of the colonies you have been assigned. Your goal is to be able to convince a group of settlers to move to your area. You will design a colonial home that fits the needs of the area as well as the settlers.

  5. Process • Within your group you will explore your region’s web quest. • You will research the colony background, land, government, and economy as a group. • Each team member will be responsible for taking the role of a typical settler. You will need to learn all about life for this type of colonist. • Realtor1: Women • Realtor2: Children • Realtor3: Farmers • Realtor4: Merchants • Next, come together as a group to discuss how your colonists’ life is alike or different from your other group members’ colonial lives. • Now, using all that you have learned design a house as a group that you would be able to sell to a group of settlers. To sell the home you will need to create a Real Estate flyer to advertise your home to the setters. Each group member’s responsibility is to make sure that the needs of their colonial person are advertised and convincing. • Once your real estate team has created a house to sell and an advertisement flyer decide on how you will present this to the next boat of settlers arriving in the 13 colonies. Be creative in the presentation and look at the rubric for required elements. • Creating Your Advertisement • Creating Your House • Creating Your Presentation

  6. Creating Your Advertisement Rubric Remember be creative and follow the rubric! As you go through the quest think about what you are learning and how you can use it to help sell your home. You want the settlers to move to your area so take good notes and apply what you learn!
