The French and Indian War 5 Ws

It's important for students to have a solid foundation when learning about wars and how they play into a larger historical context. This is especially true for the French and Indian War, which was just one part of the Seven Years War. In order for students to grasp the basics, they can create a spider map that represents the “5 Ws” of the French and Indian War. For each “W”, students will ask and answer a question in the space below and create a representation of their responses. Because it was a part of a larger conflict, there can be more than one question per W. The following are potential questions for this activity:

Example Questions

1. Who was involved in the French and Indian War?
2. Who were the leaders of the French and Indian War?
3. What were the areas of conflict during the French and Indian War?
4. What lead to the start of the French and Indian War?
