Using historic sources to create a time line

This lesson teaches children how to use different historic sources to help create a time line of major events in a county’s timespan.

In a day of over reliance of the Internet to research historical facts, this lesson teaches children about the different types of historical sources they can use to gather information and find out about the significant events in UK history. This sets the children up to then use the same skills finding out about their home country.

Note- in preparation for this lesson, the teacher will need to bring in some artifacts from home.
