2. Colonization Task Cards
I hope you enjoy your Colonization Task Cards. There are 32 question cards that are a combination of recall, primary source quotes, maps and images.
Challenge your students at a variety of levels! Differentiate by giving certain cards to your students. A blank template is included at the end if you wish to include more questions. The Answer Sheet has space for up to 40 questions. I recommend that you laminate the cards so that you can use them year after year.
These task cards have multiple uses in your classroom. You can:
Set up centers to review for a test
Play a game of “Scoot”. Place the task cards around the room and allow students to travel from one card to the next as they answer the questions.
Need a quick formative assessment? Pass out a few of these task cards and have students answer them at the end of a lesson.
