Directions Hand out the student sheet and have the students use the internet to fill in the table and then answer the questions. Tomorrow we are going to work in small groups to make a visual timeline poster for a location in fictitious Strangeland. You do not need to include dates, just draw accurate pictures, in the correct order, of what their location looked like from the ground in the past. Then we will do a Gallery Walk, we will hang the posters up and walk around and look at everyone’s posters. Posters will be graded and are worth 50 points for each student in the group. 50-45= A 44-40=B 39-35=C
