January Blog Ending The Colony Unit By: Cha Cha And Sophie
In 5th grade Barnes class, in January, a Social Studies unit was going on-a colony simulation.
“ It was the best unit yet!” said 5th grader Sophie. The colony simulation took place in Glenridge Elementary school, Mrs. Barnes class. The unit was held because people needed to learn what happened when people moved to the colonies. The simulation happened by students writing down income and loss, food and people, and things like that. Students got a chance to simulate being governor, trading, mapping, and auteder.
5B was extremely excited to Find out the colony winners everyone was shouting and having fun. The simulation happen like everyone had a sheet of paper, and they would draw fates to determine what the daily food income would be. They would go into a trading circle and make deals on trading muskets for food, horses for land, and so on. The colonist trader could trade with the natives in their region, or with other colonies.
Ms.Barnes said “Time to see who the winners are!” and so every one in 5B huddled around the smart board, and-“Drumroll, Please!” and so the class did a drumroll. In big letters, on the screen, were the words- Free Foxes!! And so she said,
“And our next unit will be the American Revolutionary WAR!!!”
The class cheered, but
Some.
Just.
Groaned.
I like how you explained how we picked fates.
