Timeline Presentation: Special Moments in my Life

As part of our Social Studies discussions about Families, your child will have the chance to present themselves, their family and the many special moments that you have had together in the form of a Timeline. With your help, your child will be asked to find pictures of your family. ​The pictures should include special events from the time your child was a baby to the present​. Pictures may include: your child’s birth, special birthdays, family trips, family celebrations, etc… Please discuss these pictures with your child and help them create a timeline of these special events. In order to create a timeline, please have your child place ​6 (or more) pictures in chronological order (from the earliest event to the most recent event) and have them ​write the year when the event took place below each picture. They will then present their timeline to the class. In order to prepare for their presentation, discuss each event with your child so they are familiar with the details. They are encouraged to speak about their events as much as possible in French. Please note​: I have provided a template for the timeline with sample events to speak about, but your child is not obligated to use them. ​Get creative with the Timeline! Your child can make a Timeline using Bristol board, the computer, fancy book style etc… Their title should read:​ La ligne chronologique de ___________ Students may use notes to help them speak about their Timeline, but are encouraged to rehearse and look at their audience when speaking. Please refer to the evaluation rubric below. After our presentations, their timelines will be hung in our classroom. If you do not want your child’s timeline hung up in the class, please let me know. Please check the schedule below for your child’s presentation date.
