This is a great review activity that would be best completed with a partner or small group. Students need to practice how to make inferences and this is a great way to do that.
Students can complete the timeline as a cut and paste activity or a digital Google Slide activity. Follow up questions increase rigor and help students make connections.
Aligns with Indiana Social Studies Standard 6.H.1.
