Interactions+Culminating+Projects

Dear Class 401 Students,

You are trying to win the job of being the new writers/directors for the upcoming season of PBS Colonial House. You will be presenting to the PBS executives a written proposal and pilot episode.

Your challenge involves writing, directing & acting in your own episode. You must try your best to integrate how the Colonists interacted with each other and the land. Each group will focus on a different natural disaster in a different Colonial region: New England colony earthquake, New York colony flood, Middle Colony tornado & Southern colony hurricane. You should try to include the government, economy, culture, daily life, science and technology of the selected region as well as the positive and negative effects of the natural disaster.
