THIS WEEK
We’re thinking about the question: How can we create a historical record of important events?
Your challenge this week is to create a “Timeline of Events” to show important events from your life.
Remember your work plan? That’s when you said:
I will add…
I will try…
I will adjust…
Let's Get Started!
Decide or discuss: What will you do next to turn your draft into a final timeline?
Check out this “Timeline of Events” created by another student.
Ask yourself:
What changes did this student make to their work?
How did the student use pictures to show events?
What ideas does this give you for creating your own timeline?
