Spark Learning

I created a set of cards to tell my students the story of the history of writing. I cut out and laminated the text cards and the matching picture cards. I lay out the picture card as I tell the story, and then place the matching text underneath. When completed, this creates a timeline of the history of writing.

These three part cards are a wonderful way to spark interest in world landmarks. The cards were created to be used the the "Toobs" World Landmark set, which are wonderful small materials for the students to interact with. However, you don't need to have the "Toobs" set in order to use the cards. These cards can be printed once for use as a three part card and a second time to make a control of error booklet.
