Bell-work 9/12/13 Critical Thinking: How do you believe the Southern Colonies climate and geography impacted their economy (how the colony made money and sustained itself)? EQ: What made the Southern Colonies unique TSWBAT investigate the Southern Colonies

Objective and Scales: Student will be able to investigate the Southern colonies in respect to reasons for founding, religion, culture, and politics with 80% accuracy. Where does today’s objective fit into the LGS, what goal are we achieving today? Yes, goal F How do we reach mastery?

Georgia: Founder King George II founded Georgia in his name in 1732 The job of setting up and running the colony was given to James Oglethorpe (a political idealists) Wanted to create a utopia in Georgia

Georgia: Politics and Government Representative government, white landowners elected representatives to a Common House of Assembly Was an elected Governor who was appointed by the King in England Georgia was seen as a business investment in England

Reflection: Double Bubble Map Compare and contrast the colonies of S. Carolina and Georgia using a double bubble map.
