What educators are saying

This was a fun activity for my 8th graders. They were given three flags and had to research the event in history and then write a short summary of the event. We made a bulletin board out of them!
My students really enjoyed creating these and it was a great cumulative activity. They looked fantastic when finished and displayed.

Students are required to provide a short summary and illustration of the event in the designated space provided. Two editable blank flag templates are also included for you to add your own events. The timeline can be created at any point in the year, and it would look great for Back to School Night or Open House!
