A timeline allows for students to create a graphical representation of events in the texts and the process of the trial. In order to incorporate student choice, I would allow students to organize timelines by chapter or date in sequential order. I would recommend completing this project simultaneously with reading, so the events are fresh in students'minds.
Objective: Students will be able to create a graphical representation of the events and process in the text and display items sequentially along a line, organized by date or chapter.
Materials:
-
-Pictures from the text

-Construction paper
