Create a timeline.
A timeline is a visual representation of events that are arranged in chronological order. For this assignment, students will be creating a timeline that illustrates Canada’s contribution to World War 2 through the lens of battles, allies and industry. Here are some detailed instructions for creating a timeline:
1.
Research: The students should begin by researching the key events related to Canada’s contribution to World War 2 through the lens of battles, allies, and industry. They should use reliable primary and secondary sources to gather information about the events and the context in which they occurred.
2.
Organize information: Students should organize the information they have gathered into a chronological order. This can be done by creating a rough draft of the timeline on paper or using a digital tool. Make sure to include the key events related to Canada’s contribution to World War 2 through the lens of battles, allies and industry.
3.
Create the timeline: Once the students have organized the information, they can create the timeline using an online tool. Some popular tools include TimeToast, Tiki-Toki, or Dipity. These tools allow students to add images, captions, and notes to the events on the timeline.
4.
Add visual elements: Students should add visual elements to the timeline to make it more engaging and easier to understand. This can include images, symbols, and colors.
5.
Add Historical thinking concepts: Students should apply one of the historical thinking concepts to each lens of the assignment (battles, allies and industry) to help them understand the context of Canada’s contribution to World War 2.
6.
Cite sources: Students should cite their sources in the timeline, by including footnotes or endnotes in the timeline.
7.
Submit the final product: Once the timeline is complete, the students should submit the final product.
The timeline should be clear and easy to read, and it should effectively convey the information about Canada’s contribution to World War 2 through the lens of battles, allies, and industry
