History Timeline Activities: sequencing for secondary students

Timelines and Sequencing for Secondary Students

Printable and digital timeline activities for sequencing historical events

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? 

  1. Standards-Based Teaching: Sequencing is a Power Standard that crosses all grade levels and content areas. 
  2. Bloom's Taxonomy Level:  Builds knowledge by sequencing and then going into the category of analysis by explaining a key event from the timeline.  
  3. 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.
