History Timeline or Book of Centuries

My thought:
  • 3 ring binder
  • Using colored paper make dividers for time periods.
  • Make full double page 50yr (for period we are studying Vikings to Civil War) timeline across top 1/3 of page. Put tabs to find these pages more easily? Write time period across top of page.
  • Make 2/3 size pages to put between 100 yr pages. Each 2/3 page is for a discreet event and will be in order. Add images to enhance. Put number on 2/3 page and mark it on the line too.
  • Use cardstock.

Homeschool in the Woods--If we are good with our timelines, I would like to buy this CD set of the images to enhance them.

Blog about different timelines. I like the index card one

Sonlight's idea of how to break down time periods:

100 years per page 5000 BC to 200 BC
50 years per page 200 BC to 1000 AD
25 years per page 1000 to 1850
10 years per page 1850 to present
8 1/2 x 11" Pb, heavy-gauge paper.
