Directions: Place the following 12 events in chronological order. Use your packet titled "From Colonial to Revolutionary America" and use the 2nd and 3rd page of that packet. Remember that I gave you the first two events, which should be already written in your graphic organizer. Place the 12 events in order on a loose leaf, so that we can check it when we get to class, and then I will give you 10 minutes to write them in your graphic organizer.
