Timelines and Sequencing for Secondary Students

Timelines, Sequencing, Google Classroom, Learned Lessons

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.  

Elements included in my sequencing lessons:  

    • Print and digital option (Google Classroom and Microsoft Compatible) 
    • Timeline Cards with images to put in order
    • Timeline Template Sheets
    • Informative Writing Prompt
    • Step-by-step instructions for writing a clear, accurate, and concise informative essay
    • Writing Rubric

    ·      Plan for activities that “hook” and engage students in the topic you are going to cover. 

    ·      Make sure you introduce the lesson and ensure that the students are engaged in an activity that is meaningful and fun. 

    ·      You want to get the students' attention.

    ·      State the daily objection or “I can statement” and ensure you come back to this at the end of the lesson to review. 

    Teacher Input

    Student Guided Practice

    ·      Make sure that when you introduce new knowledge, you provide an outline of how you expect the students to take notes on the topic.

    Student Independent Practice

    (You Do)

    Independent practice

    ·      This is the part of the lesson where you allow the students to take their new knowledge and put it into practice. 

    ·      You will assign a project or activity and assess whether they understand the skill or conceptà CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING.

    ·      The activity should always support the objective and reinforce any new content introduced.

    ·      Examples: Choice board activities, timeline relays, DBQs, Speech Analysis, Projects, etc.

    Assessment & Review Activities

    ASSESSMENTS AND REVIEW

    ·      Assessment is necessary to determine student readiness to move on and to determine which students need remediation and tutoring.

    ·      Quizzes and tests are common assessments, but projects and activities with clear rubrics are also great assessment tools.    

    ·      Many of the independent activities are great tools for you to conduct a daily assessment of student learning. 

    REVIEW AND GAMES

    ·      Everyone loves a great game, so make sure you are constantly embedding time in to review and make learning fun.
