The French and Indian War Webquest Activity and Video Guide Analysis

Students will learn about the people, battles, locations, causes, effects, and more from the French and Indian War by completing a 17 question webquest from MountVernon.org and answering 23 questions about a 6 and a half minute PBS video. 

The answers are included where appropriate so these could work with a sub. 

Sample questions include:
--Identify what the world’s first global war was, when, and between whom.
--Explain how the Ohio Valley finally came under British control.
--Can 1759 be considered a turning point in this war, why or why not?
--Why do you think the video was titled, “The Shot Heard Round the World?”
--Despite Washington’s early losses, why was this a good experience for him?
--Why did the French rely more on their Native American allies than the British?
--Why did Cuba change hands multiple times during the end of the war and in the terms of the Treaty of Paris?
--Summarize the role of Virginia’s House of Burgesses in the causes of the French and Indian War.
