United States Dates 1 & 2 - Binders

This unique resource allows students to create a large-scale timeline of United States history on the classroom wall. Individual activity sheets help students learn about major people, places, and events in United States History. Completed activity sheets become pieces of the classroom timeline. As students' knowledge of history grows, so does the classroom timeline. United States Dates includes labels and graphics that link activity sheets so that students can easily see how historical events relate to each other. The timeline makes history become an easy-to-follow story. Student-created timelines depict an event, when it happened, and why it happened while emphasizing critical thinking skills, including sequence, main idea and details, and cause-and-effect relationships.

How It Works:

Each 234- to 237-page binder includes 8 units with lesson plans, teacher notes, and reproducible activity sheets. Completed activity sheets are posted, along with the labels and arrow graphics. Includes visuals for cause-and-effect, main idea and chronological timelines. With answer keys.
