Lesson Summary
Students explore the idea that we all have a history and that these can be represented visually through a timeline. They begin by exploring different types of timelines before thinking about some significant events in their own lives and creating a timeline of these events. They then watch a clip featuring Nova Peris and use learnings from the clip to identify questions that can be asked of people to help identify significant events in a person’s history. Students then plan and conduct an interview with someone from their grandparent’s generation, seeking to answer the question: What were some significant events in your life and why were they significant to you? Students create a timeline of these events to share with the class.
