Forming Colonial Identity is the third mini-unit of Unit 1: The American Colonies. This mini-unit is taught after “Introduction to the 13 Colonies,” the second mini-unit in Unit 1: The American Colonies and before “Road to the American Revolution,” the first mini-unit of Unit 2: The American Revolution.

After the opener, begin the Google Slides lesson. Students can take notes on paper using the note-taking guide provided with the Google Slides lesson, or they may take notes digitally with the electronic version (also included with the Google Slides).
5. Print the Prove It activity included in the Google Slides lesson at the end of the unit. Students read statements and determine if they are true or false. If the statement is false, they correct it. This lesson encourages students to review their note-taking guides
1. To what extent did the 13 colonies have a shared colonial identity?
2. What ideas from the Enlightenment were included in the U.S. Constitution?
3. How did the First Great Awakening affect colonial society?
4. To what extent did the 13 colonies become interdependent?
5. What effect did salutary neglect have on the development of colonial economies and political structures?
6. How did the French and Indian War affect colonial society, politics, and economics?
28 Slides (editable) with graphic organizer note-taking guide and summative assessment worksheet. This Google Slides reviews how the Enlightenment, First Great Awakening, colonial trade and the French and Indian War contributed to a growing sense of shared colonial identity.

Thank you for stopping by Teacher Bistro. I created this place as a resource for educators who wanted a easy way to find resources. In my first ten years of teaching I can’t tell you how many hours I spent gathering lesson plans, video guides and lectures. Hopefully, you have added this site to your bookmarks, and this place can make teaching a little bit easier.
