Causes of the American Revolution
Causes of the American Revolution- Social Studies Project
Your task: Over the next 2 days, you will choose 4 events that contributed to the Revolutionary War. You may use charts/notes/readings from class and websites provided on the class blog.
You will collect the following information about each event:
Who was involved
A description of the event
When the event took place
Where the event took place
Why the event was significant in leading to war
The reaction of colonists after this event
We have discussed more than 4 events, but you will only need to collect information on 4 causes of war. Organize the information you collect and be ready for the next step of the project...Mrs. Woods will explain that on the second day!
