Road to the Boston Tea Party Timeline

Trim and join the three parts in order along a wall or hallway. Students read one event at a time and talk about how each step led to the next.

Three pages after the cover, Part 1 to Part 3, each with 3 dated boxes, a short summary and a small picture. The events run from the End of the French and Indian War in 1763 through the Stamp Act, the Townshend Acts, the Boston Massacre, the Tea Act and the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, to the Intolerable Acts, the First Continental Congress and Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. Each part shows where to join the next.
