This card describes how to create an interactive classroom timeline display using the wall or ceiling. The timeline can be used to visualize students' learning experiences, allow students to learn from displays without a teacher, and record memories and feelings. To apply it, a timeline is drawn on the wall or suspended from the ceiling and divided into months. Students capture their best moments and work through photos, drawings and sticky notes each month. The teacher writes a monthly summary and the timeline displays student work, the summary, and photos to show what happened that month in the classroom. The display stimulates students and allows them to express themselves while creating an alternative mode of classroom presentation.
