  2. How to Pick • Think about a time in history or a historical person that interests you • Search for books about that time in history • Double check that it is 800 Lexile or ABOVE and that there is an AR test • Make sure you know enough about the time period (from the book) to be able to research events

  4. Rubric Timeline Project Create a timeline that connects the main character with the time period your book is about. Setting up a timeline will require you to record the main events in the order in which they occurred. Your timeline cannot be on notebook paper. You can put it on construction paper, poster board, make it 3-D, suspend it, or use your creativity. All shapes are welcome, but keep in mind the amount of space I have available in the classroom when deciding on the size. Your timeline can be written by hand in pen, but typed is preferred.
