Today we are going to create a physical publication timeline. At each table there are a variety of materials. The scenario is this: An event occurs (our example is the bush fire).
Consider:
How did you first hear about it?
What came next?
Can you put the materials on your table in order from first to last.
Can you identify the type of sources on your table?
What is the difference between the information at the start of the timeline and the information at the end?
When do we begin to see disciplinary knowledge / lenses applied to the issues?
What sources displayed would be useful as primary sources?
