  1. Bellwork 9/16/13 Update Notebooks EQ: What was like life for different groups of people in the colonies?

  2. Use the pictures to hypothesize (create a hypothesis): Would life be different in the American colonies for different social groups or classes? Update TOC to include page 19: Colonial Life Cornell

  3. Today’s Objective: • The student will be able to evaluate colonial life in respect to community and daily life as well as contributions of minorities to colonial life including NA, AA, women/children with 80% accuracy. • Where does this fit into the unit LGS? What goal are we concentrating on today? • Yes, G AND H • How do you reach mastery of these goals?

  4. 1. New Vocabulary • Extended Family-a family that included, in addition to the parents and their children other members such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins • Apprentice-someone who learns a trade by working for someone in that trade for a certain period of time • Gentry-were the upper class of colonial society, they lived a more comfortable life with servants attending to their needs • Middle Class-made up of small planters, independent farmers, and artisans.

  5. 2. Introduction & Background Information • The family played an important role in colonial America. • Most colonists lived on farms, where having a big family was an advantage (why?) • Each family member had responsibilities on the farm, even little ones (starting around age 7) • Farmhouses were not very comfortable, most were small and they were crudely made. In the New England colonies, winters were very cold and a family might have to huddle around the fireplace for warmth

  6. Life for men and women were vastly different • A husband and father controlled a family’s income and property • Family members had to accept the man’s power and authority

  7. 3. Today you will become one of six colonial social groups. • Women (pg. 108 and graphic on page 109) • Young People (pg. 110) • The Gentry (pg. 110-111) • Middle Class (pg. 111) • Indentured Servants (pg. 111-112) • Free African Americans (pg. 112) In your groups research your social group. Discover what life was life for your group and create a short bulleted list for the class. You should collect notes in bullet format in your NB.
