Notes

• Va.- land policies changed- speculators given 1,000 acres (about the size of football field minus the endzones) for each family setteled.
• Under policy Va. Settlers couldn't leave. So most came from other colonies.
• Of German, Scots Irish, English
• Result- denominations- page 310- list 12 examples.

Directions for the Pioneer Project

Pioneer Project directions:                      Due Dates: 

 

            Pioneer families had to be self-reliant.  They could not go to the store to get any type of supplies.  Everything they used had to be brought with them from the settlements, traded for, or made by hand by themselves out on the frontier.  To survive they needed to use their skills, wits and materials available on the frontier. 

Your task with this project is to make something that the pioneers would have had to make on the frontier, or a model of said object.  You will have to research your object and write about it in your companion essay and cite your source or sources.  ( Mrs. Kirk, in the library can be of great assistance, she has a section in the library on Appalachian culture.)

·         Model Cabins or lean-tos

Articles:  need to be made of materials that would have been found on the frontier.  Nails would have been limited, cloth would have been Lindsey-woolsey, or wool or leather, in short supply.  Glue would have been natural materials (clay, etc.)  Modern materials may be substituted byt in your description you must explain your substitutions.
