Description
Timelines are valuable learning tools because they show students in a concrete way how historical people and events relate to each other. The Memoria Press Timeline Program covers events from Ancient to Modern Times (2500 B.C. through 2000 A.D.). The Composition & Sketchbook provides space for students to write and draw. (There is little textual content here. Rather, it consists of labeled event pages to go along with the material in the handbook and on the cards.) Each event has a two-page spread with space for illustrating a dated event on one side, and a page of blank lines for writing a summary on the other side. 123 pgs, pb. The Handbook contains separate timelines for grades 3, 4, 5 and 6, as well as answers to the questions in the Composition & Sketchbook. It includes teaching guidelines, charts of the dates studied by grade/time period, and summaries of each to help students complete their Composition & Sketchbooks. It also explains how to use the cards. The Student Flashcards are color-coded to match the Wall cards. Each card measures 1.75" x 3.5" and is on sturdy cardstock. 60 cards have a fact on one side and a date on the other. MP recommends that each student have their own set for drill and memorization. The Wall Cards come in purple, green, red, blue, and brown and have a date and event on the same side. They're the same size and material as the Student Flashcards and include one large card (8.5" square) depicting a painting of the birth of Christ in 4 B.C. Display these cards on your classroom wall as you progress through the lessons for visual reinforcement. Parents may choose to follow the included pattern, if they wish. The Complete Set includes all of the items listed above. ~Sara
