What is a Timeline?

A timeline is a type of graphic organizer that shows specific events in sequence, usually with dates, in a linear fashion. Timelines are particularly useful for studying or reviewing history, because the timeline will visually display major events over a period of time. Storyboard That adds another dimension beyond dates and descriptions, by making it easy to illustrate important events! Check out our Timeline Graphic Organizer article to learn more about how you can use timelines in your classroom. Want to learn more about how to make a digital timeline?

What is a Timeline Poster?

A timeline poster is simply a timeline on poster sized paper. These bright and engaging posters are perfect for the quintessential history project, and are also useful to hang in the classroom. Customizing a timeline lets you create fun and memorable posters. A timeline poster board can be created for research projects, like the events of someone's life or the timeline of an invention, but also can showcase important events in an era of history. Having students create timelines is a great way to see which events they deem important!
