GreenKitty Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 book for idiots. :D I would like most of it (if not all) to be filled in, from begining to close to end. :D I have no timeline hainging on our walls. Though we do have them in various encyclopedias around here...somewhere. I saw a couple places where I could print off dates and make a three ring binder. I don't want to spend a fortune, nor alot of time. Though I am wondering if it possible to find one for sale, that someone has made? :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
materursa Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I don't know if this is what you're looking for but... You can get an e-book that walks you through making a timeline notebook that includes year labels to put in there. But, it doesn't include timeline figures or what you should enter into your timeline. You can download a zip file with free timeline figures from here: http://www.thehomeschoolshop.com/sh-freebies.htm This is the HistoryScribe people. But, those are just the pictures there aren't dates or information with them. HTH, Amanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Maybe this would have some options for you? http://www.learningthroughhistory.com/Store/CategoryTimelines.html Also, I think this is a great idea for timelines for younger kids: http://higherupandfurtherin.blogspot.com/2006/12/our-historical-wall-timeline.html On a different thread today, someone posted this link (I think it looks like a great timeline): http://www.addacentury.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tullyfamily Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 this is a great resource: http://homeschoolinthewoods.com/HTTA/timeline.htm If you buy their "record of time" notebook, you could just cut & paste figures in. I haven't bought the notebook yet b/c I'm waiting for our littles to become bigs first (plus it is a bit pricey) but I did invest in the cd of figures. LOVE IT!

GreenKitty Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Thanks for all the ideas. I'll have to take a look at all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Record of Time book looks very nice! With the cd of figures, do you paste them in the book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannah Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 You can find a good (free) guide to timelines called The mosaic introduction to timelines at bringinguplearners.com At the files section of this Yahoo Group you can find a template for a wall timeline, timeline figures (with name and date) to go with SOTW1 and SOTW2 and composer timeline figures.

Melissa B Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 If you just want a timeline and not a notebook -- this is what I use. http://chaos1.hypermart.net/index.htm They are laminated and Rainbow Resource sells them for $11.25 each. (I bought most of mine used. I think I found them on homeschoolclassifieds.com.) I tack the one(s) we are using to the wall. When we are done with that time period, I roll it up, throw on a rubberband and store it until the next time we need it. We use post-its, white board markers and sometimes pictures put on with that tacky stuff that comes off again to add anything that isn't on there. Then I just quickly remove the items and wipe it down before storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khope1 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 my friend prints out what she needs, then lets her dc color them in when they are learning about something-she uses MOH, so she just prints out what she needs for each unit(but Im sure that you can print them all out at one time if you need to, then she lets them glue it in the book. I believe that she cuts them out for them though, but if your dc are old enough, they can cut them after they color them in. Good luck in your decision!

khope1 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Im so sorry-I didnt mean to hijack this thread.....I am just so confused. I didnt mean to answer about the CD for the Record of Time book here since the question was directed towards someone else, but I just posted about this book in another timeline thread and I thought that this was the thread. LOL. But hopefully I answered your question about the CD. HTH. Kimmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Does anyone have either of these and find them useful as a timeline guide? We have the Timelines of History by Grun. It is a very thorough guide with entries for History & Politics Literature & Theatre, Religion, Philosophy & Learning, Visual Arts, Music, Science, Technology and Growth and Daily Life starting from 5000 bc. For the earlier periods, the increments are 1000 years, then 500 and they become increasingly smaller until there are yearly entries from the year 500 onwards. Our timeline is based on our studies of SOTW1, SOTW2, composers, artists and South African history and as we encounter a person or event, we add it to the timeline. I have not referenced the Timelines of History at all for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems it might be nice to have something handy to look at. Though I just read that it's a bit difficult to 'look at'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I just read that it's a bit difficult to 'look at'. It's not really a "look at" book, but rather a very good reference with short descriptions of major events and people that happened or lived in a particular year.
