As part of our review of the Executive Branch, I asked students to complete a basic timeline concerning which presidents have served over the course of our country.  Many of the students struggled to remember some of the basic timelining skills they practiced last year.

Each student is now relearning how to create, accurately label, complete, and read a timeline; which is based off of our presidential history.  The timelines are done to scale and are allowing use to work out the process of trial and error.

Additionally, this activity is giving us an opportunity to study more in-depth some of the major events in American history; which will subsequently be put on our timeline.  This is just a start, but hopefully one that will provide students with a better understanding of our history so they can have a greater appreciation for our present and future.
