What is a narrative?
A narrative text tells the story. It does not attempt to present or prove an argument; rather, it presents the facts. A narrative is specific and chronological. It provides the details for an historian to interpret, but does not interpret those details itself.

Your group’s narrative must include the following information….
Inspiration
- Who were the leaders of the revolution?

Resolution
