Samples and Ideas
Create classes for students and have them create timelines over a historical period. They can add pictures, graphs, videos, sound, and their own narration. Create one of your own and insert quiz questions wherever you like. This can be great for having kids draw inferences from events. Have students view an existing one from the community page like the one linked below.
