Instructional Ideas

• Assign groups to research one event and as they place it one the timeline, have them explain its significance

Classroom Considerations

• Class members should either have knowledge of the events or access to sources that describe these events
• The small size of the template would make it difficult to record and read the timeline; consider creating a poster-size version where groups post their event

Pros

• An answer key is provided in the packet

Cons

• None
