Got
Roots? Doing an Oral History Project
Timeline
Objective: Student
will create a timeline listing one event for each year of their lives.
Procedure:
- Explain to the students that a timeline is a simple way to organize
information about yourself or your ancestors.
- Have the students take timeline home and write down an event that
happened each year in their life. Use the timeline handout. (Click
here to get the handout.)
- Remind the students that it is not necessary to fill in an event
for every year of their lives, but the year must be included even
though there is nothing at that location.
- Introduce the concept of documentation of the source. Students
need to take three events in their life and find documented proof
for that event.
Material: Timeline chart
Assessment: It is important
that students have…
- an event for each year of their lives
- documentation of three events.
