A coworker of mine has her students complete time-lines about their lives in order to analyze their interests and past experiences. Below are the directions for the time-line assignment.
1) Pass out colored pencils and a sheet of white paper to each student.
2) Each student draws a straight line from of the top of their papers to the bottom. This line later becomes the framework of the time-line.
3) Each student identifies eight meaningful moments which occurred in their lives, and they write titles for each of the moments along their time-lines.
4) Each student draws images along the time-line which describe each of their titles.
5) When all students have completed their time-lines, they are asked to voluntarily share with the class some of the content of their time-lines. Students should realize they are different and similar in many ways.
The time-line is a simple activity which provides great insight on the students' characteristics. I was thoroughly impressed when I viewed a few of the students' time-lines.
