What Students Need to Do

Students connect six colonial figures to the places they shaped. They explain how the search for religious freedom, economic opportunity, or self-government influenced those settlements.

What Mastery Looks Like

Students connect Williams and Hutchinson to Rhode Island, Penn to Pennsylvania, and Calvert to Maryland. They link Hooker to Connecticut and Oglethorpe to Georgia. They can explain the reason behind each connection.
