US History I Timeline: Decor & Activity

Decorate your classroom with a beautiful timeline that helps students see all the major developments in US History I- from Indian Cultures and the Age of Exploration to the Civil War & Reconstruction. With 11 major developments, each has a series of years, a bold title with a catchy subtitle, and rich historical images. This can get students seeing the 'big picture' of US history and get them to anticipate every new unit you teach throughout the year! And there is a great activity for the first week of school to introduce all the major topics they will learn this year! Its fun and fosters critical thinking while hyping them up for the year! There's 3 parts to the activity:  1) Brainstorm and try to match major events to the years on a provided timeline. 2) Complete their own timeline by observing the different events and developments (which could be stationed around the room) you will study this year. 3) Use their timelines to answer some comprehension and reflection questions.  100% EDITABLE! This is a fun US History Timeline activity that students will enjoy!
