Timelines
Timelines help children get a "big picture" of the time era or topic under study. Some people like to create permanent wall timelines that act as a master record of everything learned. Others like to do the same in notebooks. We prefer to create separate timelines for our individual unit topics. We have created timelines about lighthouses, flight, and newspapers. We once made a fun timeline that chronicled the space race between America and Russia. We ran two fishing lines across a room. Then using clip art, magazine clippings and coloring book art we attached the various spacecraft, mission dates and discoveries onto clothespins and attached them onto either the Russian or American timeline as appropriate. Some great online sites to help with your timeline creations are Modernism Timeline, Timelines of Art History, and History Timelines on the Web.
