Have students make timelines of their own life by deciding on a few events and looking through magazines to find pictures that represent those events. Glue the pictures with a description of the event on index cards. Attach to yarn. These can be hung up on a bulletin board for display. I had my students make pockets and include in their social studies notebook.

Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteI'm pinning this for next year. I could use it in my middle school classroom as the first ISN lesson/get to know you activity AND have them learn more about timelines :o) Thanks for posting!!

This idea of creating a timeline of cards to fit in a pocket could easily adjust for age level and subjects. 5th graders would maybe have 5 events to include on their timeline; 6th graders would have to showcase 6 events; 7th graders would have 7 events; and so on.
