History Time-line

Because I want the boys to have a visual idea of times in history, we are using a time-line for the wall. Pre-made time-lines are out there, but they are pretty expensive. Therefore we will use our American chronological history book as a guide, and we will to create our own! The internet, especially Wikipedia, abounds with pictures and information.

I found this website where I printed a time-line graph for free (and it also has a fabulous looking free curriculum on their home-page that I may look into when I have some extra time [insert laughter here].. just kidding!).

Below is my main time-line character. I chose this one out of all the bloody images of Him on the cross. All of history revolves around HIM:

Jesus
c. 6 BC - c. A.D. 30

Below are our first three American history time-line characters. I copied them in Word, and after printing, we will cut and paste onto the time-line graph.

??? 6, 000 B.C. plus++++?

According to the still-debated New World migration model, a migration of humans from Eurasia to the Americas took place via Beringia, a land bridge which formerly connected the two continents across what is now the Bering Strait. The minimum time depth by which this migration had taken place thousands of years ago, with the upper bound (or earliest period) remaining a matter of some unresolved contention (after the fall of the Tower of Babel).


Leif Ericson ^[1] (c. 970 – c. 1020) was a Norse^[2] explorer who was probably the first European to land in North America (excluding Greenland).


Christopher Columbus (1451^[1] – May 20, 1506) was a navigator, colonizer and explorer whose voyages across the Atlantic Ocean led to general European awareness of the American continents in the Western Hemisphere. Though not the first to reach the Americas from Afro-Eurasia — preceded some five hundred years by Leif Ericson, and perhaps by others — Columbus initiated widespread contact between Europeans and indigenous Americans.
