Description
This Snowflake Bentley TIMELINE Activity is an engaging way for students to show what they have learned about the life of WILSON BENTLEY after reading Snowflake Bentley by Jacqueline Briggs Martin. The timelines created will not only aid kiddos' comprehension, but will also inform others about the "Snowflake Man's" life and achievements.
Each student and/or partnership will create a timeline that displays information about KEY EVENTS in Bentley’s life, matching ILLUSTRATIONS, and DATES (when known). They will also include a TITLE.
DIFFERENTIATION
There are FOUR versions of the timeline project included, so you can easily differentiate the activity. Each version comes with the necessary INSTRUCTIONS and MATERIALS. Depending upon students’ abilities, they can…
- use complete sentences to describe key events in Bentley’s life, record them in separate boxes, and create their own matching illustrations.
- read boxes with pre-written sentences about key events in Bentley’s life, match them to the pre-drawn illustrations, and put them all in order.
