              • Remind students that they cannot underline a book that is not theirs. Offer other options, such as taking
               notes or using post-its.

              • Help your students check the chronological order of the key events of their historical report. Some events
               continue to happen over many years. One way to provide your students with help is by establishing the   rack  44
               best time division between events. It is important to discuss the timeline and reach agreement on it, since
               this will be the basis of the report.

              • One way to skip this step is if everyone decides to work on the same event. Then, each group may focus
               on details of what happened on a certain date or period; another group will research the next date, and so
               on. In this case, each group will have a different date.
              • Remember the idea on the track (the suggestion of exchanging timelines) is one among many options for
               checking the timeline. Remind them a good timeline will make a good report.
              • Another way to help your students is to arrange the information on the timeline into a flow chart.
