If+You+Sailed+on+The+Mayflower+in+1620+Reinforcing+Activity


 * History 3-5

Benchmark A**: Construct timelines to demonstrate an understanding of units of time in chronological order.

Students will get an opportunity to make a timeline in class. There will be a list of dates that students will be required to have on their timeline that will be given to them after finishing reading "If You Sailed on The Mayflower in 1620" in class. Some of the items that the students will be required to have in their timelines will be the day that the voyage began, the day that the pilgrams first saw land, the day that the Mayflower sailed to Plymouth, the day that the Mayflower sailed back to England, and the day that the first Thanksgiving took place. A large sheet of paper, ruler, and markers should be given to the students to help them complete the timeline. The students should also be asked to draw pictures around the timeline that relate to the book.
