Mr. Leggett's 5th grade class engaged in a project-based learning activity called "Selling Colonial America." The students created brochures, info posters, and flyers to advertise the advantages and job opportunities of their assigned colonial regions. They also produced a Colonial Hall of Fame and advertising posters to enhance their one-minute sales pitches promoting settlement in their specific colonies.
