In your reading look at the pictures of the clothing and homes of the colonists. Using “Colonial Life” by Bobbie Kaman that I have provided you with, research Colonial Homes and the clothes both men and women wore during this time period. You will find all of this information in the book. Concentrate on these questions to guide you:
1. What did the more comfortable homes of the colonists look like? What rooms did they have inside?
2. What was their furniture like?
3. What did men’s fashion look like? What kind of pants and suits did they wear?
4. What did women’s dresses look like? Were they comfortable?
