The French and Indian War - Group Research
Working in groups (3-4 students) you will be researching the French and Indian War. The purpose of this activity will be to begin to understand how and why the relationship between England and the colonies was changing. The groups as a whole will be filling out the following questions. The following links have been provided to help you research. Each group of questions also come with links to help you. Each group member should begin by looking at the links to get a background of the war. After that groups will be given the opportunity to choose which group of questions to answer based on your interest. One group member should make a copy of this, share with group members, rename “Group members’ names French and Indian War” and put all should put in history folder. That way you can work on it together and I can see it to help you as well.
