Beyond-the-Basic Productivity Tools (BBPT)
conduct research on this event or person and will create their own timeline using the ReadWriteThink
Timeline online tool. To differentiate, students that would rather draw a timeline can do so as well. After
completing their timelines, students will present their finished products to the class.
Reflective Practice: This lesson is effective to students by scaffolding instruction via modeling and gradually
releasing responsibilities to students. Students also have access to the ReadWriteThink Timeline tool and
create their own timeline, just as the teacher did. This can be motivating to students because they get to ‘play
the role’ as the teacher and create their own timeline. Students will also have the opportunity to teach and
display their findings to their peers when presenting their finished timelines. Overall, I believe this lesson an
active and student lead, which makes it effective to their learning.
