My Event Planner

Write down the big events from your biography. This is your plan for your timeline.

For teachers & parents

How to use your planner

For each big event, write when it happened, a few words about what happened, and an idea for a picture.

  • Ask the two questions: Does it have a date? Did it change the person’s life, or the world?
  • Find 6 to 8 big events. Do not worry about the order yet.
  • When you are done, press Put them in order by year.

Your plan is saved on this computer, so you can come back and finish it later. On a shared computer, print your plan before you leave.

For teachers

The planner keeps research and building as two separate jobs: students find and write their events first, then build from the plan. Rows can be moved up and down, and "Put them in order by year" sorts any row with a year in it. Prefer paper? Press Print with an empty plan for a blank worksheet with lines. The plan is saved only in that browser, so on shared computers have students print before they leave.
