Friday 11/20
Convince others to come and trade with you!

What was the daily life like for a person in your trade?
Who performed your trade? (men, women, farmers, educated, rich, poor…etc)

Hello my fellow colony members! Have you been in the colonies for a long time? Have you been wearing the same clothes for months? Come visit my tailor shop for a new set of shirt and britches! Women, come in and get a new Sunday dress! New dresses are only 6 pences. Don't have any money? What do you have to trade with me?

My life is not as hard as others. I spend my days measuring, dyeing, cutting and stitching. I get to spend the majority of my days indoors. What is your life like?

that's a good deal. but your supply wont last that long and you will not make that money because you are practically giving away every thing away.

Do you not have enough space to store your food and drinks? I can store water, milk, fruits, tobacco and corn. You can just come and ask me to put it in there and store it in a big room.

Brickmaking is an important job. It is useful for fireplaces, chimneys, etc... Unskilled poor people, like poor men, women, and children perform this trade. I will show you a step-by-step on what my trade typically involves.

1: Dig clay from the ground.

2: Mix the clay with water in what is called a "treading pit." To mix the water, stomp your feet into the clay.

3: Roll the clay in sand so it doesn't stick to the mold.

4: Put the clay into a wet mold. The mold shapes the clay into a brick.

5: Rub a flat wooden stick against the clay to remove any excess clay.

6: Remove the mold and leave the clay to dry in the sun for six days and six nights.

7: Put the clay in a shed for a month.

8: Put all of the shaped clay into a kiln. Watch carefully for six days and six nights so the clay doesn't overbake. If this does happen, the bricks will crumble apart and break.

9: You are done!!!

Good day my friends, I am a ship captain as you may know. I am now hiring crew members. Join me on adventure across the Atlantic Ocean and we will have a wonderful time.

It is a very fun and exciting life to be a ship captain. I wake up at four in the morning to take the helm until the helms men wakes up then I go to the galley. Then, I spend the rest of the day in my quarters and map the ocean. I don’t see many women in my position, also. It’s usually rich men.

Good-afternoon I was wondering if Jack you would like to trade a tea set that includes a pot 2 saucers 2 cups and 2 spoons for my finest haberdashery and jewels that I just imported from England. I was also wondering if you sell needles and boxes I can use for my millinery . Also if you ever need a new set of clothing, hat , britches or quilt you can always come to my millinery Miss.Aqua's Millinery on the north side of the colony . My Mom died last week and now I am alone so if there is any part time job that I can take can someone let me know . Thank you Ariel Aqua
