Timeline Thumbnails, Revisited

Memorizing Timeline with Timeline Thumbnails

I shared this idea at the beginning of the school year but then fell into a Wile-E-Coyote, racing-to-catch-up-with-my-pants frenzy. This semester alone I’ve had a thousand-and-one ideas, but, as always, those ideas have fallen short of implementation. (haha. If I could just generate ideas all my life without doing anything, I’d be set!)

So here I am, finally revisiting a few things that have been stewing for several weeks now. One of them is timeline. As I mentioned in the original post (where you can download the Timeline Thumbnails template), I am a visual learner. As I attempted to memorize the timeline with just a song (for the past three years, mind you), I kept getting hung up at about “Early Native Americans.” That’s pretty good, except for the fact that there are 139 more timeline events to memorize. So, I finally decided to take control of my own education (I am a homeschool mom, after all) and use a better method to help me memorize.

If you don’t have a copy of the Classical Conversations Foundations Guide, the Classical Acts & Facts History Cards, or the Timeline song (From the Cycle 1, Cycle 2, or Cycle 3 Audio CDs), this is going to look a bit like Egyptian hieroglyphics without a Rosetta Stone. So be sure you have one of those items before trying to translate the images below…

Let me also insert a reminder that I just sketched the first thing that popped into my mind. There are likely much better ways to depict each timeline event, but this is as good as it gets for me. If you have a question about the inner workings of my mind here, feel free to leave a comment or email me. (If there’s something here you cannot figure out, there’s bound to be someone else with the same question! 🙂 )
