• 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.
