Time Traveling

Hello fellow time travelers! I am so excited to be traveling back to a time that shaped out countries history, the Civil War! Our very first lesson is going to be about time lines. During this lesson the students will learn the definition of timeline and construct their very own timeline. After the students have a good understanding of time lines they will work independently and as a class in order to create a classroom timeline. Each student will be assigned to a monumental event of the Civil War. They will research the event and create a part of the timeline that will include a picture, date and a brief overview of the event that will be part of a whole class timeline. In addition to this project, the students will eventually be making the timeline in an electronic format in order to post it on the blog. the purpose of teaching students about time lines is so that they can understand the sequence and context of an event. This lesson will engage your child into the history of our country.
Thanks for your time and interest!
Miss Beaver
