GALLERY WALK of SPACE RACE EVENTS (Also includes Timelines, Worksheets and Keys)

Engage your students in an immersive journey through the pivotal events of the Space Race with this Gallery Walk PDF product. This comprehensive lesson plan combines hands-on learning, critical thinking, and historical analysis, making history come alive for your students.

Key Features:

1. Interactive Gallery Walk: Print out 10 stunning visuals of key Space Race Events in either color or black/white versions (both included). Strategically space them around your classroom or hallway, but keep them intentionally out of chronological order. This approach encourages students to explore the events and participate actively in creating a Space Race timeline.
2. Guided Learning: Provide students with a template that prompts them to answer essential questions about each battle, including "Who," "What," "When," and "Where." Allocate approximately 5 minutes for students to explore and record their findings at each battle station.
3. Timeline Building: After completing all 10 events (approximately 50 minutes), students return to their seats. Using the information they gathered during the Gallery Walk, students must now arrange the events in chronological order on their template (1-10).
4. Customizable Timelines: Choose between two options for timeline creation. You can opt for students to manually fill out a blank timeline sheet (with a key provided), or take a kinesthetic approach by having students cut and paste their Gallery Walk template into a timeline format (materials included).
5. Critical Thinking and Writing: Once students have completed their timelines, they turn them over to engage in a vital literacy strategy. They will craft a historical narrative, drawing insights from their timelines and explaining how the tide of the Space Race changed between 1957 and 1969. Students will also identify and discuss the most influential factors that led to this shift.
6. Assessment and Evaluation: The completed two-sided timeline and the written historical narrative become the basis for assessment. Students will submit their work for grading, ensuring that they have a comprehensive understanding of the Space Race's progression and its pivotal moments.
