The Lines in Timelines

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students are introduced to the concept of sequence by creating their own personal timeline. As a class, they put the events of the last week of their lives into the correct order and determine what information should be used for their life timeline. They share their timelines and experiences with the class to end the lesson.
