Events from Ancient to Modern Times: Grades 3-6
 
Students will master a total of 60 events over the course of five years (3rd-7th grades). History is a very unsystematic subject, and time is very abstract. Students need a timeline that they memorize, build on, and recite every year.
 
Composition and Sketchbook: This book will be completed over the five-year period in which this timeline is completed. Each event has a 2-page spread with a picture frame for illustrating the event on one side, and a page of blank lines for writing a summary of the event on the other.
 
Timeline Handbook: The Timeline Handbook includes teaching guidelines, charts of the dates studied by grade and by time period, and summaries of each event to help students complete their Composition & Sketchbook.
 
Student Flashcards: Each student should have his/her own set of flashcards for drill and practice. One side has the date and the reverse side has the event. These cards match by identical color to the Timeline Wall Cards.
 
Wall Cards: Cards for the wall timeline have the date and event on the same side. As students study history in Classical/Christian Studies and American Studies, they study more cards throughout the year. The wall timeline should be in a prominent place in the classroom throughout the year, beginning in grade 3.
