The Precious People: Timeline Cards

WHAT THEY ARE   Keeping a timeline is a way to provide a visual reminder of people, places and events you have studied. A timeline can be a blank sketchbook which you fill with dates and notes about history, it can be a ribbon along a wall with figures or pictures affixed to in chronological order, or it could even be a simple clothesline lined with notes written on index cards and placed in chronological order using clothespins. There are many simple ways to make a timeline work for your family.The beauty of a timeline is that it creates a framework to make sense of all the books you are reading within the grand scope of history. For instance, although you might read a book about Harriet Tubman one week, and a book about the French Revolution the next, noting the events or people on a timeline can help you make connections about how these people and events fit together.   WHAT IS INCLUDED   The Precious People Timeline Cards are a tool to get your time
