1. Project: Travel Advertisement for Early SC (8-1.3)
Directions: Analyze ways in which Lord’s Proprietors attempted to persuade people to settle in Carolina. Design an
advertisement to persuade people from Europe to settle in Carolina. Remember to include facts about the “New
World” in SC, ways to make a profit once here, and what settlers will get in return for uprooting their families and
moving here. Use your imagination when creating this project. Suggestions: record a commercial using movie
maker software, make a tour slide show, visit a local travel agency and see how modern places advertise for their
locations to get more ideas. Provide a list of at least two sources of where you got your information from. Present
your advertisement to the class.
