Process

__**Process**__ The list below gives you all the character choices you can pick from. Do you want to be a baker? Maybe an apprentice? Or what about a blacksmith? You will write about your life as that character and create a brochure or poster displaying your character. Pick a character from the list below and using the internet resources I have listed gather your information.  ** Apprentice Carpenter Founding Father Merchant Betsy Ross Child/Student Gunsmith Miller Blacksmith Colonial woman/Mother Manor lady Printer Baker Barber Wigmaker Farmer Slave Cabinet Maker Manor Owner Shoemaker ** __**Directions for making your brochure or poster**__ __**The Cover/Part 1 of Poster**__ Your cover will have a picture of you as the your colonial person. We can do this by either drawing it or using a digital camera and printing your picture out. If you choose to use the digital camera for your picture, you should be dressed like your character or have things that your person would have used. You will include your name (character's name) and what you do in your colonial life.

Gather information about your character using the resources from the resources page. Introduce your character and give some of your family history and background. Because your bringing your character to life you will want to add the following information:  __**Page 2-3/Parts 3-4 of Poster**__ You will write 3 journal entries. These journal entries should tell about your job and describe your home, what you normally wear, if and where you go to school, the food you eat, any chores you might have to do, and what your colonial character might do for fun. Describe your family life as a colonial too. The journal entries can be back to back or they can be from several weeks or months. Try to express what your character is feeling and what he/she is thinking as they go about their life in the colony.
