Historic Timelines

Transportation Timelines
Social Studies Assign pairs of students a period in history to research. The partners should gather information about that period's modes of transportation, transportation issues, historical events in transportation, etc. and construct a portion of a transportation timeline. When the research is completed, combine the work from all of the groups into an extended transportation timeline to post in the hallway.

What is History? Timelines and Oral Histories
In this lesson, young students will gain a frame of reference for understanding history and for recognizing that the past is different depending on who is remembering and retelling it. They will construct a timeline based on events from their own lives and family histories. This will give them a visual representation of the continuity of time. They will also be able to see that their own personal past is different in scope from their family's past, or their country's past.

Timelines
The students will be able to recognize timelines and identify the time periods of events throughout history.
