Period 2: 1607-1754 Early Colonization
Thematic/Jigsaw Assignment
Directions for Essential Vocabulary: For each unit, you will be given a list of SFI, you do not need to simply define the vocabulary, but rather, you need to understand meaning and cause/effect relationships of the word. We will not be working on essential vocabulary in class. You should identify terms while you completing your assigned reading. Essential Vocabulary will be a grade.
Essential Vocabulary/SFI (Cause/Effect): Act of Toleration, Roger Williams, Anne Hutchinson, William Penn, Quakers,
Jamestown, Puritans, Separatist, John Winthrop, Great Migration, Bacon’s Rebellion, New
England Confederation, Mercantilism, Navigation Acts, Triangular Trade, Great Awakening, George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, Enlightenment, John Locke, Salutary Neglect, Indentured Servants, Spanish Southwest, Pueblo Revolt, King Philip’s War
Example: Salutary Neglect: 17th and 18th British policy of lack of enforcement of parliamentary laws meant to keep America obedient to England. Because of Salutary Neglect, once England began to enforce laws, it created a shift in the relationship between the colonies and the Mother Country creating tensions and conflict between the two.
Essential Questions: Your table will be responsible for answering one or more of the essential questions. The question will be randomly pulled and your grade will depend on how well you are able to respond. Each member of the group must respond to the prompt.
