Korean History Timelines

The girls had fun trying out two new tools on the internet. One let them collaborate and share their ideas in document, and the other allowed them to create online timelines.

We are reading the Single Shard, and in order to understand the story better, we learned about Korean history, and about the events leading up to the separation of the two Koreas.

The girls researched and chose 5 events from Korean History, and then had to find an accompanying picture for each event. They worked together on Titanpad to share their events. Then, they went to Timetoast and created an interactive timeline. We quickly found limits - it was challenging to show BC and it insisted on having a specific date, so we had to be creative! When they shared their timelines with the class, they saw their spelling and capitalization errors. Ahh...the need to proofread was reinforced!
Enjoy perusing and learning a bit about Korean History! Click on any dot on the timeline and a larger view of that date, event, and description will pop-up.
