How it's organized: The page opens with these directions: "Read the passage about two brothers who wanted to fly. Then write the five events on the timeline in the order they happened, from the earliest year to the latest." Students then complete the practice items in order and check their work before turning it in.

How to use it: It is a great fit for morning work, learning centers, intervention groups, test review, homeschool lessons, and take-home practice.
