Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify the founding year of each of the thirteen original American colonies.
Match each colony to its key founding leader, such as John Smith, William Bradford, Roger Williams, or William Penn.
Identify the first permanent settlement established in each of the thirteen colonies.
Teaching tips
Use page 1 as a completed reference or answer key, and assign page 2 as independent practice or a quiz once students have studied the material.
Have students research and fill in one colony at a time using the blank organizer (page 2), rather than completing all thirteen rows in a single sitting.
Skills covered
Historical fact recall -- students identify founding years, leaders, and first settlements for all thirteen original colonies.
Chronological reasoning -- the organizer lists colonies in founding order from 1607 to 1732, letting students trace the sequence of colonization.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
