Question 1

How do I use the Timeline Posters and Cards?

Accepted Answer

Using the cards and timelines is very easy. Start by reading the relevant passage in the history spine, then look on the card sheets and find the chapter. The cards are listed below the chapter. Cut these out and place them on the timeline. You can also refer to the Timeline Card Summary to see which cards are for which chapter.

Question 2

What are Timeline Posters and Timeline Cards?

Accepted Answer

We have created resources to make setting up and using timelines for teaching and studying history easier. We have created 5 Timeline Posters that cover history from 5000BC to AD2020. 
 
The Timelines are divided into five ages:
5000BC to 400AD Ancient Times
400AD to 1400AD The Middle Ages
1400AD to 1650AD Reformation & Renaissance
1650AD to 1850AD Early Modern
1850AD to 2030AD Modern
 
Each timeline is divided into PEOPLE, EVENTS, WARS and PROGRESS. Timeline Posters from 1400AD have a second section underneath to record the history of your own country.
 
The Timeline Cards are small 3"x4" cards featuring a picture and title that covers a single event, person, conflict or progress in history. These are placed on the relevant poster. The Timeline Cards are organised according to a particular history spine. For example, if you are reading Our Island Story by H. E Marshall, read the first chapter, cut out the cards for that chapter, then place them on the relevant Timeline Poster.

Question 3

Is this a history curriculum?

Accepted Answer

No, Living Book Timelines is not providing a comprehensive history curriculum. What we provide is a supplement to help make history more visual and engaging.
 
Many homeschool history curriculum’s use history books which we called spines. We have used ones that are well known and provide timeline resources to use alongside them.
