Personal+Timeline

Personal Timeline To get to know each other we are each going to make a personal timeline that highlights different exciting events in our lives. To begin this activity use the ‘Events Chart’ to help you brainstorm some big events that happened in your life and the world each year of your life. You will choose ONE event from each year to present on your poster. Indicate if it is a WORLD even or a PERSONAL event by using different colored boarders, fonts, or another creative idea. You should also find at least 5 pictures to put on your poster to represent different events. In class you will be given a piece of 18 inch white construction paper and we will figure out the spacing of your timeline and year marks as a class. You are more than welcome to use a bigger piece of paper if you would like. Remember this assignment showcases you! Be CREATIVE, organized, and make it something that represents YOU!
