PRODUCT SUMMARY
Capture students' imaginations with six additional titles in the riveting Colonial Life for Children Video Series. Like the first three volumes, these engaging presentations view the traditions of early colonial life through contemporary insights into the men, women and children who carried their dreams of a new life to the New World. Follow along as our host, 11-year-old Alyse, and colonial life experts tour the modern-day sites of these settlements to learn the history of the people who settled there and discover what daily life was really like. Through its historical content and portrayal of the human spirit, Colonial Life for Children crafts the legacy of these early settlers into a personal experience that students and adults can share together.

FULL REVIEWS
Gr 3-7-The videos in this series are fast-paced and informative. Each program starts with an attention-grabbing introduction and then proceeds briskly to describe the settlement and growth of the colony. An engaging young host is introduced to the history and life of each colonial settlement by an adult guide. Special attention is given to the lives of children in each colony and to their treatment of Native Americans. In the "It's About Time" feature, each video reviews the historical timeline of the colonization of North America in order to place the colony in context with the others. Each video also has a "History Mystery" feature which sustains viewers' interest by pointing out a little-known historical puzzle in each colony. Close captioning is available in each video. However, it is notably inferior in
William Penn and Pennsylvania where key words and concepts are skipped. Nonetheless, the quality of each production is excellent. The visuals, sound, narration, brisk pacing and sound information both informs young viewers and sustains their attention throughout.
