Every state has a rich history that defines how it is known today. Using a timeline layout, students will research the history of Hawaii and create a timeline of events. Students must think about what makes an event truly worthy of being included in the timeline and be able to include detail in their timeline.
For an alternative to the timeline layout, have students create a timeline poster to incorporate into a presentation or gallery walk. You can add more than one template to this assignment to give students lots of options and adjust the instructions accordingly.
~300-600 AD: Polynesian voyagers first arrive in Hawaii, establishing the indigenous Hawaiian culture and society.
1778: Captain James Cook lands on the island of Kauai, marking the first documented European contact with Hawaii.
