Learning Strategies / Social and Skills Development:
Students will ...
- gather information and use background knowledge to understand how to construct a documented timeline.
- cooperate in a group to complete another timeline following the first example; but with a different person’s history.
2 - 50 minute class sessions
- A "scrap book" like collection that documents a person's life. I used my oldest son's photo album documenting 1 - 18 years.
- At least 2 other "scrap book" like collections of documents like photos, certificates, report cards.
- Timeline construction information fromhttp://www.byubroadcasting.org/ancestors/teachersguide/episode1.html
- Example of documented timeline for students to follow along with during example presentation. Use Das Lebenszeitlinie von Mike W. to follow along with notes
- Personal timeline form that includes a record of documentation - use Zeitlinie Form and Zeitlinie Form Seite 2
Teacher presents a scrapbook/photo album of another student’s and points out events in his/her life with the corresponding document of proof. For example: He was in kindergarten at Goodview School in Winona, Minnesota in 1983-1984. Proof – report card.
Students then work in small groups to produce a timeline with corresponding documents of proof for another person and then present that personal history to the class. Students then compare and contrast the 3 individuals histories.
Into:
Using my son’s photo album (from nursery school to high school graduation) I constructed a timeline complete with documentation. See attached example.Through:
Using each of my daughters’ photo albums students groups did the same and summarized the information gathered.Beyond:
see Lesson 02 Construction of a personal timeline.
Each group should complete a timeline with at least 6 events from their example individual’s life and list the corresponding document of proof.
Use Zeitlinie Form document (Timeline Form) and Zeitlinie Form Seite 2 for these notes.
