Instructional Ideas

  • Remind students to evenly spread out the time markers 
  • Integrate timelines into any historical research project, so that students gain a comprehensive historical context to frame their inquiry
  • For each of your units, have learners complete a timeline worksheet as they move along in their studies and identify major concepts. This could be a great tool for review or assessment later on!

Pros

  • Includes 10 hashes for organizing time periods
  • Room on both the left and right sides for writing information
