Lesson Overview

Each week you will learn about colonies for each of the three regions colonial regions. You can see these three regions colored on the map below. 
In 1707, Great Britain and Wales joined Scotland under one government.  This nation was called Great Britain.  Its people were the British.  By the mid-1700's, Great Britain had 13 colonies in North America. 

There were three regions within the colonies: the New England Colonies, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies.  The regions had distinct geographic features, including land forms, natural resources, and climate.  Their economies were based on local products and services.  An economy is the way in which people use resources to produce, sell, or trade goods and services to meet their needs and wants.  Some colonies had governments that were more democratic than others.  

In addition to learning about the 13 colonies, you will learn what it means to be a good digital citizen.  This is very important when using the computer and internet to connect and communicate with other people.  The first lesson in our course helps you to gain all the information you will need to know about digital citizenship.
