Source Scramble

Students examine four paraphrased statements based on the Mayflower Compact and number them in their correct order. This sequencing task helps learners understand the structure and main ideas of the agreement. By organizing the excerpts, students reinforce concepts such as forming a government, working together, honoring shared beliefs, and promising fair laws. The bonus task asks learners to explain why the Pilgrims needed to make an agreement before establishing their colony. The worksheet strengthens historical comprehension and analytical sequencing.
