I will try to avoid note taking and use of the

This unit has a ton of people, places, and events
to remember but we can find a more effective way
to do so.
We will collaborate and create anchor charts for
key info and display it in the classroom.

8. Timeline
On page 111 of your textbook is a timeline of
events that led to World War II.
In a group of four you will be creating your own
version of this timeline.
Each event must be depicted using text and
images.
You may choose to create a digital timeline
(Prezi, Powerpoint, etc.)
You may also create a timeline using chart paper
and markers.
It is important to detail the events so that others
will understand.
