An Index leads to an alphabetical index for persons depicted within the lifelines of the People's section. This timeline of historic events from the past four hundred years contains over a hundred and fifty hyperlinks to related web pages about that event. In this activity, children will interview family members to learn about important events that have happened in their families. Then use that information to create a time line showing changes and growth in their families. Students use art to tell a story and record an historic moment.
Students analyze points of view in art.
They identify visual clues to locate an event in time, and appreciate the influence history has on people today. Students identify our national holidays, make and use a timeline, and appreciate the unique nature and shared values of family celebrations. Students build a timeline to further their understanding of historical sequence and explore simultaneous developments in ancient cultures.
