Part I:

Choose two different classes from the Colonial Era.  Fold a separate sheet of paper in half.  On one half, draw a person from the first class you choose, and on the second half, draw a person from the second class you choose.  Be sure to keep these drawings authentic with what we learned about colonial clothing!  Neatly label at least five differences in dress as well as the class of each of the figures you drew.  Don’t forget to use your notes from class, or you can look at the website that we used in class.
