Welcome to the 13 Colonies. The colonies were owned and ruled by
the King of England. The King of England paid for the protection of
the colonists.

The New England colonies had New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
Rhode island, and Connecticut. The middle colonies were New Jersey,
New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary Island.

The southern colonies were Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, South
Carolina. Most of the colonies came from England and that would be
why England rules it.

Good morrow my name is William Dun as you can see this is my
home, I am giving you a tour of my town.
This is the blacksmith in the shop he makes lots of metal tools
for us. Next is the general store it is where we get our supplies
and medicine.
This is our farm where we grow our crops so we stay healthy to.

A Tour of My
Town

In my home I have A fireplace, two bedrooms and, living room
kitchen and the diningroom. Under the bed is a chamberpot it is
where you go to the bathroom. A necessary is a outside toilet. The
living room is where I stay to relax when all my chores are done
and my dining room it is where I eat with my family. When you
first come into the home you will see my living room. In the living
room some of the furniture is from Europe like glass pots and
more. Upstairs you will find doors that lead to our rooms, come in
my room as you can see I have a bed and i have a wrillygig. My ma

A Tour of
My Home

Good morrow my name is William Dunn. take a gander… it’s a bunny I

brought home my mama will be proud huzzah!, colonist like me ate bunny,
bear and deer because wild animals were the only thing they could find. we
got the meat by hunting. In the morning our family eats cornmeal with
maple syrup. In the lunch we ate stew made out of meat and vegetables.
We grow our own vegetables.

In dinner they ate another bowl of cornmeal but this time they did not have
maple syrup. The kids dug clams and oysters out of the sand. Most food
was made from the fireplaces and they also had bread to eat too and they
got bread from wheat and wheat from the garden. The wheat turned to
bread so they can eat the bread. The colonies also had pancakes too. They
had desert and one of the is pudding made out of eggs and sugar. The
cloniest also picked apples from trees to stay healthy too.

What
Colonists Ate

Men worked hard like in the blacksmith, shops and
make houses. Women's jobs were to grow crops, cook.
She would also mostly work outside and they mostly
worked indoors too.(Men also helped), teach kids in
school. Kids would wear the same thing that there pa
would wear but there size. Slaves worked harder than
anyone in the town just because they have a different
skin color and there houses were dirty too. Slaves also
worked in plantations

Life of an
Adult

Now take A gander at my colonial clothing. It’s really fancy
because we are rich as you can see I have A buttoned up shirt and
breeches. Girls wear dresses and dress fancy I dress like my pa.
We do chores like clean the chimney and milk the cows and other
chores. In the morning I wake up do some of my chores then go
to school and after school I do my chores once my chores are
done I play A game of cricket with my friends cricket is my favorite
game to play.This is my school it has one room for all grades the
oldest grade sits in the front and the youngest sits at the back.
Then in the night we eat our supper then all go to sleep good
night.

Life of a
kid

Our colonies have been through a lot! My Pa went off to fight in the 7
years war. After the 7 years war the king lost so much money just to
protect us
The king of England lost so much money that we had to we had to pay
Taxes! Then he started these acts like the stamp act, the sugar act and
more. The acts made us pay for things that used to be free like stamps on
paper, tea, and sugar.
We started to ignore the king and his dumb acts so we would have to
stand up and make a Declaration of Independence!
We sended the the declaration of Independence to the king and he
declared war so then we fought and then we won and that means
colonies are no more and a new contry is born called USA!

No more 13
colonies!
