People and Events Review

Click on the links below to study for the People and Events Quiz.  REMEMBER, you will NOT actually take this quiz, but you DO need to know all of the information that is on it!  

STUDY HARD!

Unit 6 Hexagon

You are a museum curator.  You are trying to create an exhibit about the American Revolution.  You would like to include all of the people that you remember from your 6th Grade History class, but unfortunately, you only have room for 7.  So you have a two-part task.

1. Which seven people will you choose to include in your exhibit?  Using at least two sentences each, explain why each person that you chose deserves a place in the exhibit.  Also using at least two sentences each, explain why the people that you did NOT choose do NOT deserve a place in the exhibit.

2. You must also decide the order in which these people and their stories will be displayed.  Your order should make sense and somehow connect all of the people and the Revolutionary War events together.  Write a brief explanation (at least four sentences) explaining why you chose to put your exhibits in that order.  Put your people also in the order in the hexagon.
