Timeline Notebook by Learning Areas (PDF)

The Timeline Notebook by Learning Areas is used as a place to record important events or noteworthy persons or discoveries or inventions or artifacts. While students are learning the Bible, history, geography, art, literature, math, or science and technology, they write or draw their observations at the corresponding time period on the chronological timeline. You can either write, draw or paste your ideas, images or symbols.  By keeping your timeline notebook, you will see more connections in history, building a richer appreciation for the context of events.

Each century has 2 timeline-pages for recording events or noteworthy persons or discoveries or inventions, and 2 empty artifact-pages for drawing or pasting images of artifacts such as household items, musical instruments, tools, vehicles, weapons, art and architecture, science, and technology. If students are too young to write or draw, parents may want to complete the notebook for the students, thus modelling how they might be able to complete it when older.

The timeline has four learning areas to make it easy to distinguish the key learning concepts. This gives the student more working space.  Also, this helps the student to organise their page layout.  With less clutter on the page, the four learning areas help students to think about their work in categories, and this enhances understanding.

Each timeline page has 4 lines, numbered 4, 3, 2, 1 as follows:

• Bible – record what you learn in the Bible on line #4
• General History and Geography – record what you learn in History and Geography on line #3
• Art and literature – record what you learn in Art and Literature on line #2
• Math, Science & Technology – record what you learn in Math, Science & Technology on line #1

There are a couple of empty pages at the end of the notebook reserved for drawing maps or noting any special topics the students are interested in.
