Life on a Colonial New England Farm

Making a Class Presentation

Life on a farm in colonial New England was a real challenge. Using the library or the Internet, find accounts of how New England farm families lived. Then design a multimedia presentation about a typical New England farmer and his family. Be sure to include the social and economic contributions of women in your presentation.

  • Create a map of the town in which the farmer and his family lived.
  • Dress up like a farmer to discuss the challenges of New England agriculture.
  • Create a chart that lists the differences between your family's lifestyle and the colonial family's.
