Resources to support the development of a colonial simulation

developed by Inquiry Unlimited:

Note: In 1996, Carolyn Burt and her 5th graders at Cedar River Elementary School in Maple Valley, WA envisioned a classroom role playing collaboration based on the life and times in the 13 original colonies. It was from her request on the Internet that the original collaboration occured in March, 1996. The educational value derived from such a project is quite powerful!

These resources are materials to which my class in Boston and I referred as we developed our portion of the Colonial Simulation Project.
