Students Create a Timeline Project to be presented orally to class! This is a Culminating Novel Project perfect for Independent Novels but can also be used with novels in Small Groups and Literature Circles. And, of course, use this with novels of any genre!
PDF file contains:
*Instructions/Guidelines for Creating a visually appealing Timeline of Events based on story elements and main and significant events in the novel (plot, characters, conflict, climax, resolution etc.)
*A Rubric to use in Grading Projects; rubric should also be used for informing students of expectations. The rubric contains a section for the Visual Timeline Project and an Oral Presentation Section worth a separate grade. Naturally, scores can be combined, based on teacher's preference!
Students learn about various other books through classmates' oral presentations. Additionally, because students are reading different books, each presentation is unique.
Alternative approaches such as group projects, letting groups create the project and present together, are also just as successful as assigning this project individually.
Fosters sequential order text structure, order of events, goal-action-outcome structure

Ann Marie,
Thank you so much for sharing this! I would have never thought about something like this. I love how it fits perfectly with so many of my Common Core Standards for my 4th graders. I am all about activities that connect more than one standard. I plan to use this to differentiate instruction for my high reading group.
Thanks again! I hope you have a wonderful school year.

This assessment can be used with any fiction text and is well organized for students. The rubric is clear and will help me greatly when I introduce students to the expectations.
Thanks!

Mrs. D,
I'm glad you found it interesting. I would have loved to modify or improve things you found that didn't quite suite you if there are any. I saw that you rated it lower than a 4-which makes me concerned, esp for $1. If you could, please let me know. I'd appreciate it very much. Thank you for your patronage. I guess my thinking is that I spent the time and effort to create a user friendly rubric and quite versatile assessment and am charging little to nothing...so, any constructive criticism is welcome. I guess I'm just confused with only "interesting idea" left with a 3.4---I really want you to be happy with it. Thanks so much, Ann Marie
