In Social Studies, we have been studying
timelines. We are learning about our
past, present and future. For this
project, your child needs to make a timeline depicting their life. There should be one event for each year of
their life. They should start with
their birth and proceed with each year thereafter. Some examples that can be included are
birthdays, special vacations, births of siblings, or engaging in something
(sports, music or awards). However, it
is not limited to these.
Students are to write the date and above the date they
should write something about the event and why it is special. Students can use actual photographs of these
events, draw a picture, or use a picture from a magazine. In other words-be creative! They will have to give an oral presentation
to the class explaining their timeline.
(All projects will be returned after they are displayed.)
For examples of a timeline, please see your
Reading Writing Workshop book pages 378-379. Timelines can also be found on
pages 70-71 and 108-109 in your student’s social studies book.
A rubric with scoring
guidelines was also sent home with each student. Make this a fun project for
you and your child, a time to share with him/her events that were special to
you and to them. This will be a time to
reminisce about the past. They grow up so quickly.
Timelines are due on or before Monday, September 22, 2014!
