English Colonization/Conquest in North America Interactive Note Presentation

Your middle school social studies students will love this Marzano aligned interactive note presentation utilizing GoogleSlides about English Colonization/Conquest of the New World and its effect on Indigenous Peoples that does not have any cutting or pasting! This editable resource provides your students with opportunities to work cooperatively while learning new content and working on the skill of identifying and recording critical content. There's even an activity at the end so they have a chance to apply what they have learned and deepen their connections on an organized note taking sheet.

Your students will learn about:

• Where in North America the English went and why they went there
• What the English found when they got to North America
• Jamestown, VA - The first successful English North American colony, and how they turned tobacco into a cash crop
• Plymouth, MA - The Separatists (Pilgrims) efforts in the New World, and their actions set interactions with Indigenous Peoples of the region
• Other early colonies, and why the English created them
• They will also have an opportunity to apply what they have learned by comparing the English model of colonization with the French model
