What are we working on? Life in Colonial America: What is the
real story? Directions: Over the next two weeks we will be
investigating life in colonial America. During this time there was
a famous English newspaper called the London Chronicle. It created
an article called The Untold Story of life in the American Colonies
this article was meant to share with Europeans what life was like
in the American colonies. This week we will be critiquing the
headlines that they produced and deciding what we think life was
really like in the colonies. At the end of our investigation you
will put together a Colonial Newspaper of your articles.
