Activity Overview


Students can demonstrate their knowledge about a particular city, state or country by creating a timeline of important milestones and events in the history of the place. Students can research the location using school resources and track their findings in a timeline graphic organizer. Then they can create their digital timeline, including illustrations and descriptions of the major events. They should include landscapes, towns, or cityscapes that resemble their country, symbols, flags, and other designs and items relevant to the country. Teachers can choose how many events that students should include. To make this a class project, assign students different time periods to research. Then, students can print them out to be connected!

For an alternative to the timeline layout, have students create a timeline poster to incorporate into a presentation or gallery walk. You can add more than one template to this assignment to give students lots of options and adjust the instructions accordingly.
