Timelines

Today in class we split up into two groups and had a timeline relay. The two groups competed to place all of the major events we would be discussing this year in their correct order on the timeline. I was happy to see how much knowledge the students already have on timelines and of the events we will be discussing this year.

Students were then given the challenge to create a timeline of their own lives. This can be done quickly using a program called Inspiration. Tomorrow we will go to a computer lap where students will be able to create a timeline simailar to the one I created above. If students would like to work on their timelines at home a trial version of Inspiration can be downloaded from the following website: http://www.inspiration.com/
