Making a timeline for the Story of Writing can be a great class or family project.
Use a rope or thick yarn as a timeline. If the kids need a start, the
teacher can put in the beginning, middle, and end.
As the students get more information, they add onto the
timeline. We use large note cards with the new information, punch a hole,
add some thread or yarn and tie it to the rope. The kids add
their projects to it as well. A clay tablet, scroll, an example of Braille, or
pictures can be added with a small clothes pin. This visual timeline can become a very creative garland of information.
Roll up the timeline when you are finished, and work on it the next year during your study of the Story of Writing.
