The Page Types
1. Plain-Words Chart, 2 pages: Parts 1-5 and 6-10, each with a short name, what it says in plain words, and a way to picture it. Students keep it beside them for the other pages.
2. Match It: 8 words (treaty, ally, territory, fort, proclamation, tax, debt, frontier) matched to lettered meanings.
3. Name the Topic: 8 short statements; pick causes, battles, peace terms or after the war from a box.
4. Which Part?, 2 pages: 8 scenarios; write the part number from the chart, then explain how you know in a 3-line ruled box.
5. True or False?: 6 statements, then fix two false ones in 4-line ruled boxes.
6. Fill In the Sentence: 8 sentences and a box of 10 words (two are not used).
7. Read the Story: two short invented passages, with questions and a 5-line explanation.
8. Case Study: an invented story about a Virginia farm family and a royal order. Match the story to parts of the chart, say why Mr. Harlan was upset, give a reason for each side, and say what you would ask Britain to do. No outcome is given.
9. Explain It: three prompts with 5-line boxes and sentence starters.
10. Build a Paragraph: a claim, evidence, reasoning organizer on which event after the war did the most to make colonists angry, plus a counterpoint.
11. Part Snapshot: pick one part of the chart, say it in your own words, give an example and draw it.
12. Cut and Paste, 3 pages: causes and effects, people and places, then a five-event timeline. The pieces touch edge to edge, so cutting is a few straight lines, and every piece is over an inch each way.
Built For The Student Holding The Page
A "My name" line, one short instruction, large type, and no cartoons, mascots or clip art. Nothing on a student page is written for an adult. Ruled boxes are about a third of an inch a line: a short answer gets 3 lines and an explanation gets 5 or more. Body text is 11 point or larger. The file prints clean in black and white.
No Guessing The Answer
Wherever a student picks among printed spots (the lettered meanings, the box of words, the order of the cut pieces), the position of the right answer is checked so it never sits in the same spot three times in a row.
Textbook Facts, Invented Scenarios
The part summaries are the standard, textbook-level kind, kept short. The dates and names used are the well-known ones: the war of 1754 to 1763, Benjamin Franklin's Join, or Die cartoon (1754), George Washington at Fort Necessity (1754), Fort Duquesne, General Edward Braddock (1755), the British win at Quebec (1759), the Treaty of Paris (1763), the Proclamation of 1763, the Sugar Act (1764) and the Stamp Act (1765). Every scenario, both reading passages and the case study are made up for practice. Use your own curriculum or standards for anything beyond this level. There is a blank line on the tracker for your own standard or wording.
Type In, Or Print
The name line, every answer box and every ruled box are type-in fields in any PDF reader: click one, type, then save. The same goes for the tracker, the class grid, the team note and the family page. This is a fillable PDF; it is not a Google Slides or PowerPoint file.
Who This Is For
Middle school social studies and history classes, special education and resource rooms working on the same unit, co-taught classes, and substitutes who need a unit that is ready to hand out. The reading is written at about a grades 6-8 level.
What This Is, And What It Is Not
A French and Indian War worksheet set with the record-keeping around it. It is not a timed test, a screener, a clinical tool, or a claim about any student's age or rate of progress. There is no IEP goal language or eligibility wording anywhere in the file.
