Timeline Generator

On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to model an ELA lesson in fifth grade. The class has been reading biographies, and the teacher wanted them to work on sequencing the historical figure's life events using a timeline. Rather than simply going in and teaching the students how to make a timeline, I decided to use a modified version of the Gradual Release Model. Below you will find the lesson information. If you aren't familiar with ReadWriteThink's Timeline Generator, I highly recommend you check it out. The Timeline Generator is one of over fifty-nine student interactives ReadWriteThink provides free of charge.

Learning Target: I can create a timeline to sequence events.
Technology Tools Used: ReadWriteThink's Timeline Generator, Mr. Nussbaum's Biographies

I do: Helen Keller
Walk through creating a timeline using Helen Keller's life.
1880         Born in Tuscumbia, Alabama
1881        Blind and deaf from high fever
1890        Knew manual alphabet, Braille, and how to use the typewriter
1904        Graduated from Radcliffe College
1964        Presented with Medal of Freedom
1965        Elected to Women’s Hall of Fame
1968        Died

We do: Derek Jeter
Read the passage as a class, then together create a timeline of Derek Jeter's life/career.
1974        Born in Peqannock, New Jersey
1991        Played Minor League Baseball
1995        Made it to the Majors
1996        Rookie of the Year
2012        Career Batting Average .313

You do: Lou Gherig
Students were to read Lou Gherig's biography, and then create a timeline of his life. I created a Padlet for students to share their finished timelines. Due to time, the classroom teacher decided to have students not complete this part, and instead create a timeline based on a historical figure they read about last week.
