A helpful way for students to organize their facts about Canadian History is in a timeline. This timeline highlights a few of the important dates from 1784-1896. In this activity, students will create a timeline of 5-10 events in Canadian history after 1783. Teachers may ask students to research 10 events and select 5-6 to put in their timeline, or allow them more freedom. They can also choose to provide students with a list of events to include at their discretion.
For an alternative to the timeline layout, have students create a timeline poster to incorporate into a presentation or gallery walk. You can add more than one template to this assignment to give students lots of options and adjust the instructions accordingly.
(These instructions are completely customizable. After clicking "Copy Activity", update the instructions on the Edit Tab of the assignment.)
