Colonial Project Student Web Pages

  The students then did research, including obtaining copies of Primary Sources about their character from www.history.org and from the Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute's 2001 Participant CD-Rom.  Based on that, they created a fictionalized biography of their "Assumed Identity".    The web pages, a few samples of which are linked below, are grouped based on the social class of the character.

  The web page for each character includes the following elements-

• A biographical sketch focusing on the characters early life, education, job, social level and family life based on the slides of the Power Point.
• For some web pages, a fictionalized diary entry/entries and, a photo of the quilt pattern made by students to represent their character
• Photos and/or Drawings of colonial settings, artifacts or recreations

• Web Template 1

• Web Template 2   [Use this web page and modify with power point slides (saved as .jpg images) of your own]
