Looking Back….

Let’s imagine you found a time machine and traveled to Colonial Times.

What would you see? What would you be doing? Would you be in school? Would you be working? What would you be wearing? Where would you live? What would life be like for you?

Create a story about your journey through time.  Imagine, create and share your life as a colonist story here.  Be creative but remember to use facts that you have learned, your story should be fun and creative but accurate!
