Instructional Ideas
- Perform a jigsaw—assign specific dates to an individual or small groups of learners, direct them to read and share their new-found knowledge with their classmates
- Build from the information, have pupils report on an event using additional information from the internet, textbooks, or other books from the library
- Incorporate the timeline into instruction during Hispanic Heritage Month—September15-October 15
