Emphasize neatness from the beginning! This map gives a snapshot of the colonies in 1754, the year the French and Indian War began. The shading shows the areas claimed by the French and the Spanish, as well as the area settled by the English. Be sure students understand that the English colonies had by far the largest population - many times that of the French or Spanish. The English also claimed the area west of the Appalachians. First, have students color the rivers with a dark blue pencil, staying carefully on the dotted lines.Next, have students work on their own, labeling the map features as they complete the paragraphs on the facing page. Urge them to use a #2 pencil or erasable ink pens for labeling. Color pencils are not very good for small lettering, and regular ink pens cannot be erased to fix a mistake. Have students shade, very lightly, the area claimed by France, using a yellow color pencil. Shade the Spanish areas lightly with green. The large bodies of water should be colored very lightly with a light blue color pencil. Point out that there was clearly going to be a conflict as the English colonists began spreading over the Appalachians. Fort Duquesne became the flash point in 1754 as the French and the English began the struggle for control of the region around the Ohio River. |
