Timeline of Prehistoric Humans: 6th Grade Studies Weekly Week 3
By Colleen Burdette
Help students understand the earliest humans:
Students need to understand what breakthroughs needed to made in order for humans to become community builders.
Students will read events and use context clues to infer an order of these events by completing a timeline. This timeline begins with the discovery of fire and ends with prehistoric peoples building farms and communities. Students will determine what dictates the order of the events, which discovery or invention led to the next discovery or invention.
This activity is provided as a printable worksheet and a Google Slide activity. The digital activity is easy to assign in Google Classroom or Google Drive.
Follow up questions increase student rigor. These questions can be used for early finishers, group activity, written assignment, or to begin class discussion.
This is a great summary activity and can be used at the end of a early human lesson.
