References Pike, Graham, and David Selby. Global Learner . Hodder and Stoughton, 1988. Classroom Development Have students prepare a timeline along one wall of the classroom or hallway which has been chronologically divided in to years, decades, centuries or millennia. Make sure that the timeline extends logarithmically both forward and backward in time from the present to leave more room for contemporary material.
Students are to create small drawings which reflect environmental history.
They are then to tape them up in the appropriate chronological location. Introduce the need to illustrate ecological, industrial, urban, land use, painting, sculpture, architectural, religious, economic, social, and political dimensions-especially environmental themes associated with how the world has developed. Suggest that students consider what they think has been positive as well as negative. Anything they think is positive should be placed above the tape timeline, and anything negative should be placed on the wall below the tape. In the centre of the tape timeline is the present day.
