Colonial Trade Signs with a QR Code Splash

To close out our unit on the 13 Colonies students did a study of one particular colonial trade.  Options were pretty much unlimited.  Some examples included: gunsmith (most popular), wig maker, blacksmith, naval store, general store, basket weaver, etc.  For this project students had to create a sign for their "store front."  With their sign, they also had to do a research project on their chosen trade.  To share their information they had to create a Google Presentation.  That said, since many of the presentations were more than one slide long, and did not really belong on their sign, students brought their 1700's sign into the 21st century by displaying a QR code somewhere on the sign.  These projects turned out awesome, on each level!
