Lay it out visually and have students try to memorize what they can. Gather the pieces back up, mix them around and see how many dates and times the students are able to line up correctly. This will likely be difficult for the group. Next, complete the activity again, but this time tell the story that goes along with the dates and names. Who are the people, what connects them to the timeline and those around them? Tell the story slowly and from memory. Once you have completed the story with the entire timeline, gather the pieces back up and as a class recite the story.
