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?
South Carolina: Founder

• 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?

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)
