Organize these events on a time line. *A time line shows information in chronological order. It is divided into sections that represents periods of time and is read from left to right or top to bottom. *Labels give dates and details of events.

  • 1792- elected to 2nd term as President
  • 1759- marries Martha Custis
  • 1732- born
  • 1776- Revolutionary War begins
  • 1781- war ends
  • 1799- dies
  • 1787- Constitutional Convention
  • 1789- elected to 1st term as President

Answer these questions with your parent or guardian.

  1. What is the topic of the time line?
  2. What time periods does it show?
  3. What is the longest amount of time that passes between two events?
  4. Do the labels provide enough useful information? Why or why not?
