CHAPTER 7
LESSON 5:WHAT IS A CHARTER?
Charter school students will define the term “charter”. They will see how this defi- nition maps to charters provided to independent groups empowered to create a col- ony in a far-away land; including providing services typically provided by the gov- ernment. Students will learn about the role of charters in the formation of many of the 13 colonies; they will distinguish between charters and royal charters---and learn why the British crown ultimately decided to convert all charters to “royal charters”. Students will continue to work in their assigned colony team.
