This year to provide more structure to my history class I decided I wanted to bring in the use of Enduring Issues to help students identify common themes and patterns throughout the year. This timeline activity is meant to have students begin to think historically, flex their research muscles, and review the enduring issues that we have already identified.

While I used this early in the semester, because I wanted them to become familiar with both the enduring issues and PowerPoint, this could easily be something that you use throughout the semester and continue to add important events as you learn about them

The enduring issues list that I used can be found here. The New Visions Curriculum is a phenomenal resource!
