Every state has a rich history that defines how it is known today. Using a timeline layout, students will research the history of Wyoming and create a timeline of events. Students must think about what makes an event truly worthy of being included in the timeline and be able to include detail in their timeline.
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.
1800s: European fur traders and explorers, such as John Colter and Jim Bridger, venture into Wyoming in search of furs and trade routes. Later in the 1800s, thousands of pioneers travel through Wyoming on the Oregon Trail and other westward trails in search of a better life.
1869: Wyoming becomes the first state to grant women the right to vote and hold public office, earning it the nickname "The Equality State."
1860s-1870s: The building of the Transcontinental Railroad brings rapid growth and development to Wyoming, connecting it to the rest of the country.
1872: Yellowstone National Park is established as the world's first national park, spanning parts of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho.
1890: Wyoming becomes the 44th state in the United States on July 10, 1890.
1925: Nellie Tayloe Ross is elected as the first woman governor in the United States, serving in Wyoming.

Due Date:
Objective: Create a 4-6 cell timeline of important events in Wyoming’s history.
Student Instructions
Requirements: At least 4 events, correct dates, descriptions, and appropriate illustrations for each event.
Explain the importance of choosing key events for a timeline. Discuss with students how timelines tell a story using only the most significant events, not every detail.
Demonstrate how to review a list of events and decide which ones shaped Wyoming’s history the most. Highlight events that changed laws, affected many people, or marked important 'firsts.'
Ask students to explain why each event deserves a spot on the timeline. Encourage them to use evidence from class materials or research to back up their selections.
Organize a partner or small-group share-out where students present their event picks and reasoning. Invite feedback and respectful debate to sharpen critical thinking.
Guide students to revise their timelines if they discover stronger events or clearer justifications. Emphasize that historians often refine their choices as they learn more.
Galvenie notikumi Vajominga vēstures hronikā ietver Eiropas kažokzvēru tirgotāju ierašanos, Oregonas takas migrāciju, Vajomingas piešķirtais sievietēm balsošanas tiesības 1869. gadā, transkontinentālās dzelzceļa būvi, Yellowstone nacionālā parka izveidi 1872. gadā, valsts statusa iegūšanu 1890. gadā un Nellie Tayloe Ross, kas 1925. gadā kļuva par pirmo sieviešu gubernatoru.
Veiciniet skolēnus izvēlēties nozīmīgus notikumus, pievienot precīzus datumus, rakstīt detalizētus aprakstus un iekļaut ilustrācijas katram notikumam. Piedāvājiet gan digitālus, gan plakātu šablonus, lai skolēni varētu izvēlēties savu iecienītāko formātu radošumam un iesaistei.
Izmantojot interaktīvas aktivitātes, piemēram, laika līnijas izveidi vai plakātu prezentācijas, palīdz skolēniem vizualizēt un iegaumēt vēsturiskos notikumus. Diskutējiet, kāpēc katrs notikums ir svarīgs, un saistiet to ar Vajomigas identitāti, padarot stundu aktuālāku un neaizmirstamāku.
Vajomingu dēvē par Ekvālences valsti, jo tas bija pirmais, kas 1869. gadā piešķīra sievietēm balsstiesības un publisko amatu tiesības, uzstādot vēsturisku precedentu dzimumu līdztiesībai Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs.
Skolotāji var nodrošināt brīvu laika līnijas veidni, ļaut skolēniem pievienot savas šūnas vai izmantot plakātu izkārtojumus galerijas pārvietošanai. Dažādas veidņu iespējas palīdz skolēniem radoši un sakārtoti attēlot vēsturiskos notikumus.
