Instructional Activities

1. A “European History Timeline” activity can serve as a “wrap-up” of European history and the start of Standards of Learning (SOL) review. In small groups, have students determine what they feel are the top ten pivotal events in European history. Have them write the events as a timeline on the butcher paper.
   
   
2. After students are finished, tape the papers around the classroom and have the students discuss their “top ten timeline.” (NOTE: This activity can also be done again later at the end of World History and Geography from 1500 a.d. to the Present.)
