Colonial America  Unit Primary Sources

   The following primary sources can be used with the Colonial America unit.  These pictures refer to the SOL 5 for Virginia history.  Students can use the sources to discuss the "crime scene" and make inferences as they "zoom" in on the details.  They will create a story by predicting what each picture is saying and develop an understanding about the diversity of the original 13-colonies.  The pictures can be enlarged, copied and pasted to make a large poster.  Additionally, the pictures can be reduced and duplicated for a sorting time line activity.
