Creating your own word wall is a pain, however research has proven that having a word wall up helps students remember concepts taught in class. Interacting with the word wall brings this tool to a whole other level!

This resource is designed to be interactive with student participation and manipulation. It will work as a static word wall, but it is best utilized with the tips offered below!

• Laminate your timeline so that students can interact with it!
• Use velcro to attach the words to the timeline
• When you have a few extra minutes in class have students attach the terms to the timeline
• Take words from different eras and have students work in groups to compare and contrast
• Take words from different eras and have students play "odd man out" game
• Have students sort the words in chronological order

Whatever we can do to get students moving and talking about History will help them remember the material, and the more you utilize your timeline the more they will get a chance to review!
