The Task

Before your family can get settled in to your new home, you must research the three sections of colonies within the New World. These sections include The Northern or New England Colonies, The Middle Colonies, and The Southern Colonies. Using the websites and worksheets provided in this web quest, determine the areas of settlement (major cities), food sources, industry and jobs, the origin of the people already living there, education, and religions practiced in the areas. Don’t worry, it sounds like a lot, but I know you can do it! Remember, your family is counting on you to help find them a great new home!
