Timeline Notebooking Page Printable
This versatile timeline notebooking page printable allows you student the freedom to write, draw, and mark important information about the topic you are studying.
While working through our timeline, I wanted a notebooking page that would be easy to use and quick to prep as we talked about different events and characters in our timeline. Some of the events in history are easy to find a plethora of printables online, but others are not. What if we wanted to make our own?
I created this timeline notebooking printable as a template that can be customized to the way your family would like to use it. In it’s most raw form it provides a space for both drawing and writing, along with a timeline across the top that allows for the student to mark where in the scope of all history this particular topic lands. I especially like that part, because it allows us to organize and categorize our timeline notebooks with ease. It also allows us to integrate both secular and biblical events and characters, helping connect the co-existence of the two in our minds. Did you realize ______ lived at the same time as _______?
How to Use the Timeline Notebooking Printable
Mark the Date on the Timeline
Across the top of each notebooking page, I have included a timeline for convenient study. Whenever you study a new key figure, war, civilization, or event, have your student mark the approximate date(s) on the included timeline. Not only can we see the visual progress through time, but it also helps keep timeline binders nice and orderly, as the timeline can easily be referenced when filing new information.
Include and Image
The blank space at the top of the timeline notebooking page allows students space to draw something important to their study. Alternately, graphics and supplement can be glued in this space for easy reference.
If you want to use the Homeschool In The Woods timeline figures with your notebooking pages, I have a whole blog post about how I use them together. You can find it HERE.
Ruled Writing Space
The lower section of the notebooking page is lined for writing. On the front of the page is adequate space for a couple sentences. If your child requires more space, and additional set of lines for the back of the page is available. Just print the pages double sided.
