Assignment
Open the brochure template, save it to your My Documents folder, and follow the instructions on the template. Be sure to delete the instructions after you have read them!
The brochure contains columns and is two pages long. Use the first page (the first two columns) to describe the colonies and the reasons they were each established. The second page contains three columns. Use these columns to describe the varying lives of the colonists. Colonial Americans can be divided into six groups: Plantation Owners, Farmers, Artisans, Women, Indentured Servants, and Slaves.
