Instructional Ideas

  • Include the timelines in your social studies curriculum as they become relevant to the topics your class is studying
  • Use the packet as a way to reinforce informational text analysis
  • Have learners choose another event from history to create their own timeline, complete with comprehension questions for their peers to answer

Classroom Considerations

  • Resource is in color; print a test page to make sure it prints well in black and white
  • Print all 10 versions or choose your favorites and print by page

  • Encourages critical reading and placing events in sequential order 
  • Each version comes with a modified worksheet and an answer key

Cons

  • None
