Revolutionary Timeline Project

March 16, 2008 by alicemercer · 25 Comments · assignments, timeline

Rules:

  1. Groups will have 2-4 members
  2. List four events from the Revolution with a date;
  3. Explain each event by summarizing (not copying from someone else’s writing) in one to three sentences what happened;
  4. Answer a why or a how question (why is this important, why did they do that, why did this make a difference, why did I pick this event, how did they do that, how is this important, how did this make a difference, how would you have behaved) about each event.

I will need a post from each group listing your members, and the four events you plan to include by the end of this week. Below are three timelines you can look at to get some ideas:

Revolutionary War for Kids-1763 French & Indian War Ends

The History Place – Prelude to Revolution

The History Place – American Revolution
