We are now switching gears to a timeline project. The students are going to create a multi-tiered timeline. They will choose 2 topics that are somehow related/connected. From each of those 2 topics, they will choose 4-6 events. After the timelines are completed, the students will write a reflection paragraph explaining how the topics/events/timelines are related, connected, or similar.
Below is an example timeline and paragraph:
Even though you might not think it's true, the sticky note and the computer have something in common. Both of these items help people gain access to information quickly. In 1974, Art Fry wanted something to stick in his book so he wouldn't lose his place, so he invented the sticky note in 1977. IBM's first home computer came out in 1982 and Google launched in 1986, which allowed people to access endless amounts of information very quickly. Without these two devices, the search for information would take a lot longer.
