**Timeline for Differentiation**

These are examples of events that your students might find for each
decade. This shows one or two events per decade per topic -- organized
by decade. These are taken from
<http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/History_n2/a.html>. Students will
find other examples for the categories when working independently.

To differentiate this lesson using this example, the teacher may delete
any or all information depending on the level of scaffolding required
for the groups based on ability or age or both.

-   Some groups might need no scaffold, but rather just the topics and a
    chance to work independently. Their findings may vary significantly
    from this example.

-   Your students might benefit from a prepared chart to help them
    organize their ideas.

-   Other students would benefit from having one event filled in for the
    appropriate decade. They could research for the year and find
    another event.
