Causes and Effects

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides a framework for students to explore and document the main causes and effects of the American Revolution. It features two large boxes where students are expected to list out the reasons that led to the revolution and the outcomes that resulted from it. There’s also a section at the bottom for reflection, where students are prompted to consider and articulate their thoughts on whether the American Colonists were justified in their revolt against the British, supporting their opinion with reasoning.

The worksheet is designed to teach students about the complex historical narrative of the American Revolution, encouraging them to think critically about the historical events. By listing the causes and effects, students are able to visualize the link between actions and consequences in historical contexts. The reflective question pushes them to engage with moral and ethical considerations of historical actions, fostering a deeper understanding of the justifications for and repercussions of the American Colonists’ decision to seek independence. This encourages critical thinking and personal engagement with historical material.
