Timelines of events

Achievement Standards: 

  • Year 9: Students sequence events and developments within a chronological framework concerning periods-of-time and their duration
  • Year 10: Students sequence events and developments within a chronological framework and identify relationships between events across different places and periods-of-time

What does this mean?

Historians need to understand how events roll into each other and how places may impact those events.

What does a timeline look like? 

History Timeline

How to make a timeline:

Growing understanding

Create a timeline of events and locations that those events happened. What relationships may those events have with locations

Ideas for the timeline: 

  • Positive events in your life
    • When did you lose your first tooth? When did you meet your best friend?
  • A timeline of Ned Kelly from birth to death
  • Different stages of economic development
  • The history of skateboarding
  • The start of the Yakuza
  • Something connected to your passion project. 

How will you know you are done?

  • You will have a timeline with at least 5 significant events
  • Each event should include a description of the event and a location that it happens
  • Prepare some evidence that talks about the relevancy of the location with their events.
