Timelines and Sequencing for Secondary Students
What are Sequencing Activities?
Sequencing activities require students to organize information learning into a time sequence and analyze patterns of historical events. If students can master the art of sequencing they can better understand cause and effect patterns and relationships between events.Why should I plan for students to complete activities that have them sequence events?
- Standards-Based Teaching: Sequencing is a Power Standard that crosses all grade levels and content areas.
- Bloom's Taxonomy Level: Builds knowledge by sequencing and then going into the category of analysis by explaining a key event from the timeline.
- DOK Level: Collect and Display events in sequential order falls under DOK Level 2, and Investigating an events falls under DOK Level 3.
How do I have the students to go to a deeper level of understanding after sequencing activities?
- Have students analyze the cause and effects of several events they just sequenced.
- Have students create a visual timeline of events.
- Have students research key events from the timeline and write essays on the historical significance then and now.
