Description
Create a 3D map showing where these groups lived and settled in Virginia.
You can get the outline of Virginia from Mrs. Stroup or draw one yourself.
You can use clay to show mountains. Please make sure your colors are
appropriate, like using blue for water and green for grass. Make sure you
look at the rubric so you do not leave anything out.
These groups should be included:
1. Germans
2. Scotch Irish
3. English
4. Africans
