Part A – identifying time, people and places

Using the Track the History timeline and timeline activity, students should work on the first section individually. In each of the tables, students are asked to identify information from the timeline and interpret it in their own words.

Part B – group discussion: time, people and places

After analysing the timeline individually, students work in mixed ability groups, to discuss how the concepts of time, people and place help us to understand history. Refer to worksheet discussion points.
