What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students put related events in date order. They explain what built up over time, what set off a response, and what happened next.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can order four events and explain more than one reason an event happened. They can tell the difference between a cause and something that simply happened earlier.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may name only the most recent event as a cause and miss years of buildup. They may assume an earlier event caused a later one just because it came first.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Put the 1765 Stamp Act, May 1773 Tea Act, December 1773 Boston Tea Party, and 1774 Coercive Acts in order. Name one buildup cause and one immediate trigger for the protest.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs dated cards for the Stamp Act, Tea Act, Boston Tea Party, and Coercive Acts; have them arrange the cards and draw cause arrows.
Ask students to write two sentences answering: Why does the Tea Act alone not fully explain the Boston Tea Party?
Play a card sort: students label the Stamp Act as buildup, the Tea Act as a trigger, and the Coercive Acts as a response.
Give students a school closure scenario with Monday snow, Tuesday falling temperatures, and Wednesday icy roads; ask what built up and what stopped buses.
