Lesson Planet
Eighth graders select their own plot of land in the Backcountry to settle in the 1700s in SC. Students first find a point for settlement and sketch out the best route from the Lowcountry to arrive at the point. They then draw out a land plat that displays a visual representation of the settlement. Finally, 8th graders will write a 3 paragraph journal explaining and describing the dangerous journey they made through the Backcountry.
