Your colony is responsible for earning a profit and paying back the Company. How does your group plan on earning money in the colony. Will you have a cash crop, use your natural resources, or create a product that everyone will want?
In addition to the information you have already gathered about the different colonies, use the links below to strengthen your understanding about how the colonies earned a profit. Based on where your group has decided to settle, the resources available, the trades your colonist have, and the information you have gathered, what is the best way for your colony to earn money? Create at least two PowerPoint slides demonstrating to the Company that your colony will be able to earn a profit in the New World. Your slides need to connect the land and people to a successful choice in making money. |
