The document provides instructions for an activity to help students sequence key events of the American Revolution. Students will be given slides describing different events and asked to line up in chronological order, explaining each event's description, cause, effect, and main idea. They will then pass their slide to another student to continue building the timeline of revolutionary battles and the eventual Treaty of Paris that ended the war.

1. Sequence Key Revolution Events

out to each student until all 5 are gone.
