Every state has a rich history that defines how it is known today. Using a timeline layout, students will research the history of Oklahoma 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.
1682: French explorers, led by Robert de La Salle, claim the region for France, calling it part of "Louisiana."
1803: The United States acquires the land that includes Oklahoma through the Louisiana Purchase.
1830s: The U.S. government forcibly relocates many Native American tribes to Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma) in events known as the Trail of Tears. In 1834, Indian Territory is officially established by the US government.
1889: The Land Run of 1889 takes place on April 22, opening up unassigned lands to settlers. Thousands rush to claim land, leading to the term "Sooners" for those who entered early.
1907: Oklahoma becomes the 46th state of the United States on November 16.

Due Date:
Objective: Create a 4-6 cell timeline of important events in Oklahoma’s history.
Student Instructions
Requirements: At least 4 events, correct dates, descriptions, and appropriate illustrations for each event.
Guide your students to analyze why each event matters by leading a whole-class discussion after timelines are created. Ask students to share which events they chose and explain their reasoning. Encourage them to consider the impact each event had on Oklahoma and its people. This helps students practice critical thinking and connect history to real-life consequences.
Ask students to list key events they already know or want to research about Oklahoma. Brainstorming as a class or in small groups helps activate prior knowledge and sets a purpose for research.
Demonstrate finding reliable sources and evaluating which events are most important. Show students how to look for dates, causes, and effects to decide what belongs on the timeline.
Work with students to arrange chosen events in chronological order. Use visuals like sticky notes or index cards to physically move events around, making sure dates and order are correct. Sequencing builds a clear understanding of historical progression.
Remind students to write clear, detailed descriptions for each event and choose or create images that truly represent what happened. Specific details and visuals help make timelines engaging and informative for all learners.
Kluczowe wydarzenia na osi czasu historii Oklahomy obejmują: francuskie roszczenia w 1682 roku, Zakup Luizjany w 1803 roku, Szlak łez i ustanowienie terytorium indiańskiego w latach 30. XIX wieku, Wyprawę na ziemię w 1889 roku oraz stanowość Oklahomy w 1907 roku.
Użyj szablonu wizualnej osi czasu, zachęcaj uczniów do badania i wybierania ważnych wydarzeń, dodawania szczegółowych opisów oraz tworzenia ilustracji lub plakatów do wystawy lub prezentacji, aby utrzymać zaangażowanie w aktywność.
Zapewnij pusty szablon osi czasu z miejscem na 4-6 wydarzeń. Poproś uczniów o wypełnienie nazw wydarzeń, dat, krótkich opisów oraz dodanie rysunków lub obrazów reprezentujących każde wydarzenie.
Wyprawa na ziemię w 1889 roku otworzyła nieprzydzielone ziemie dla osadników, co doprowadziło do szybkiego wzrostu populacji i nadania nazwy „Sooners” tym, którzy zajęli ziemię wcześnie. Był to punkt zwrotny w rozwoju Oklahomy.
Wybieranie znaczących wydarzeń pomaga uczniom zrozumieć najważniejsze momenty w historii Oklahomy oraz rozwijać umiejętności badawcze, krytyczne myślenie i analizę historyczną.
