Specialization and Interdependence Cloze Activity Specialization and Interdependence Colonization of North America 5 c USI 5 -The student will apply social science skills to understand factors that shaped colonial America by: c) describing specialization and interdependence among New England, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern Colonies The major concerns of the early colonists in the New World was to fulfill their ____________for food, shelter and clothing, so all their energies were directed to ensuring that they could survive in Colonial America. Once they were established and their basic needs were met, the colonists were then able to look for ways to gain ___________, money/income, through economic activities such as farming, the fur trade and other types of trade due to the manufacture of goods. There were considerable differences between the three colonial regions. ________________ and ______________ were two important factors that determined the economic activities that developed in each of the three regions. In other words, the colonists relied on the available resources found in their _______________ to shape what was produced and how it was produced. Due to the differences within each of the colonial regions, specialization developed in the production of goods and _________. This ________________ then led to an increase in productivity; as the laborer mastered their craft the amount of time needed to produce each good was reduced. Once __________ increased, trade was now required to make money. Through this _________, the colonies grew to become dependent upon one another to get the ____________ and services that they could not produce for themselves. Not only did specialization cause the colonies to become interdependent with each other, but also led to increased trade with England. The colonies ___________ natural resources and raw materials found in their region back to England. They then _________ items not plentiful in the colonies such as tea, coffee and other manufactured luxury goods. Overall, life in the colonies was shaped by the geographical features of the ____________. Specialization developed due to the _________________ within each colonial region. These resources played an important role in determining what was produced and how it was produced. Specialization within Colonial America increased productivity and required trade which, in turn, increased the level of _________________ between each colonial region and with England.

Once they were established and their basic needs were met, the colonists were able to look for ways to gain wealth through economic activities such as farming, the fur trade and other types of trade due to the manufacture of goods. Through this trade, the colonies could also get goods and services they could not produce for themselves. There were considerable differences between the three colonial regions. Economic activities were dependent upon the environment in which the colonists lived. The geography, climate, and other important factors in the Thirteen Colonies impacted the economic activities of each of the three regions. Due to these differences, specialization existed among the regions in the production of goods and services. This specialization caused the colonies to be interdependent. Colonies engaged in trade with each other and with England using the natural resources and raw materials that were determined by the climate and available soil type. While the colonies exported raw materials back to England, they then imported) items not plentiful in the colonies such as tea, coffee and other manufactured luxury goods. The available resources played an important role in determining what was produced and how it was produced. Overall, life in the colonies was shaped by the geographical features of the settlement.
