The Little House 2. Discuss with students the changes that the house saw around it. Note the change from rural to urban to suburban. Pass out the downloaded copies of the digital pictures they took. Ask them to speculate what changes these building might have seen, if they could, what stories could these buildings tell.
Students arrange the pictures from the oldest building to the newest, as best they can.
Give each student a sheet of shelf paper, a digital picture, makers, and glue. Tell them they have the opportunity to create a timeline story of their community similar to the one in the story. They are to glue their picture down, create physical and human surroundings with their markers, and write a description and function of the building below it. When all students are finished, create a human timeline at the front of the class, with students arranging themselves into a chronological order with their pictures. Begin with student one and tell the story of the community aloud.
