Task Cards
I hope you enjoy your American Revolution Task
Cards. There are 32 question cards that are a
combination of recall, primary source quotes, maps
and images. Challenge your students at a variety of
levels! Differentiate by giving certain cards to your
students. A blank template is included at the end if
you wish to include more questions. The Answer
Sheet has space for up to 40 questions. I recommend
that you laminate the cards so that you can use
them year after year.
These task cards have multiple uses in your
classroom. You can:

questions.

few of these task cards and have students answer
them at the end of a lesson.
