Colonial Advertisements Project



Colonial Advertisement Project

The time is 1735 and you are in London England. A population explosion in England has left little available space throughout the country. The people are running the risk of starving because they are unable to grow and import enough food. There is plenty of room in the 13 American colonies, but with little information available, people are hesitant to move there. The King has asked YOU to create an advertisement of some sort about your colony, in hopes of attracting more people to move there. You may choose whatever format you would like- brochure, magazine or newspaper advertisement, billboard, or poster.

Must include this information on the ad:

➢ Location (what colonial group, physical geography and climate, landscape, etc.)

➢ Economic Opportunities (industry, natural resources, raw materials, farming, etc.)

➢ Religion (required religion, various religions, religious freedom and toleration, etc.)

➢ History (how was it founded, when founded, founded by whom, why founded, famous people, events, or documents etc.)

➢ Life in General (what is daily life like, education, types of people, fun facts, etc.)

*Must include at least 1 visual representation from each category above

*You may use the computer or hand draw your advertisement

*Since this is your major project for Unit 1, it will count as a Test/Project Grade!!
