CU4-1

 **2. Review relevant past learning** Everything that has happened in your students’ lifetime is part of their personal history. It also occurred while historical events happened in the world. For example, there were local and national elections, space explorations, science advancements, sport achievements and much more. While these events happened, their personal histories were also evolving.
 * 4:1 Personal Timelines **
 * Goal ** Students will make personal timelines in preparation for building periodic timeline as an overview of the year’s course of study.
 *  1. **** Gain the attention of the learner ** Tell students a story about how some important historical event that happened during your lifetime had a significant effect on your personal life.
 *  3. Present new material **During this year, students will study the events that occurred to Jews during Ancient times. As a base of reference, this unit will begin by comparing personal history to the vast years that comprise ancient events from the time of Judges through the history of the Maccabees.
 *  4. Provide for guided practice **On the chalkboard, make a list of the years that have passed since the children in the class were born starting with the year they were born until the present. Brainstorm a list together detailing what general events have happened to all the students in the class, i.e. being born, learning to walk, gaining siblings, starting school …
 *  5. Provide for independent practice ** Students should use the years listed on the chalkboard to organize information about their personal histories estimating when these events happened. Students may arrange the information chronologically in a ladder or a tape. Students can record anecdotes or illustrate specific events.
 *  6. Close the lesson **Students should share their timelines and identify similarities amongst their classmates.
