SquirrellyMama Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 My dd 11 (12 in July) will be starting 7th grade next year. I was thinking about doing another year and a half of history instruction and then having her complete a timeline during the last semester of 8th grade. This would be a timeline of SOTW 1-4 and any extra US or world history we've studied. I thought this would be a good review of what she's learned before going on to high school history when we start the process over again. Is a semester too long for this work or is it not enough time? Any thoughts? I plan on this being a nice timeline that she can use through out high school/college as a study aid. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I love this idea!!!! I think a semester is a good amount of time. What kind of timeline will you use? Will she write on it, use timeline stickers, clip art??? I'd like details. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AStableBeginning Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I think it sounds like a great idea! I would love to see pictures of the finished product too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post on here when I figure it out. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckens Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 What a great idea! We are using Add-a-Century Timeline. It can be hung on a wall or put in a really nice binder. I'll PM you, SquirrellyMama. ETA: Because of the binder, this timeline has been recommended as a good choice for taking to college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
