Process
Step One:
First, you need to decide which European country out of the following that you are traveling from to get to the New World. The links provided will give you more information about each country. Feel free to search for other sources about your country.
Research a little bit about your country, and answer the following questions. Be sure to copy and paste your answers into a Google document.
Step Two:
For the next step you will choose the colony you are moving to. Again, there are links provided which will give you some information about your colony of choice. Feel free to search for additional information.

Similar to before, research your colony, and answer the following questions. Again, be sure to copy and paste your answers into a Google document.
Step Three:
Now, you will use all of the information you have gathered to write three diary entries, using Google Drive, about your life as a settler. Each entry needs to be at least a paragraph of a minimum of 4 sentences.
Your first entry should be like a reflection on your home country - why you like it or don't like it, whether you're happy to leave or not, what is good about it and what is bad - and remember to include the information from the first survey in this entry.
Your second entry should read more like a comparison of the two - your home country and where you moved to. What are your first impressions about the new place? How does it differ from your home? What do you like about it or not like about it? Also, remember to include the information from the answers you gave for the second and third question on the second survey.

Your third entry should either sum every thing up - How you think life will be in this new colony, what you look forward to, what you'll miss about home - or it should give your vision for your family or business you want to be involved with in the colony.* Information that can be included would be what size family, where will the kids go to school, will you have a farm, what kind of business will you run or be involved with and do you think you'll get a lot of business, etc...
*If you chose to have a family or business, you may include a fourth entry if you'd like, which would act as the summing up of everything.

Step Four:
You are ready to submit!
There are two submission options based on whether or not you have a Google Account.
Option One:
If you have your own Google Account that you have taken notes in and written your diary entries in, you need to go to the "share" settings, and change the settings to "anyone with the link" --> "can view." Then copy and paste the link to your Google document in the submission box below.
Option Two:
If you do not have a Google Account, you will use the group account for this page using the information already provided to you. You will then copy and paste the link into the submission box below. You do not need to change the share settings.
