About this resource
Rosa Parks Timeline Cut and Paste Activity
Support your students’ learning with this Rosa Parks Timeline Cut and Paste Activity. This resource was specifically designed to build student knowledge around American history. This activity was designed for kindergarten – 2nd grade students. The objective is for students to place historical events in the correct chronological order.
What You Get:
A printable PDF with 4 usable pages. There will be 2 different timeline choices to choose from and pictures to cut out. An answer key is also included.
How to Use the Rosa Parks Timeline Cut and Paste Activity:
You can decide which timeline option works best for your students. One option allows students to cut and paste the events. The other option will have students write the events that occurred in the life of Rosa. With this option, students have more range to put the events in their own words. This is geared for 2nd grade students.
Once you have decided which option fits the needs of your classroom, print off enough copies for your students. You can begin by presenting students with a lesson on Rosa Parks. This may consist of reading passages and videos. Have a whole group discussion with students to learn more about Parks.
You will also want to spend time discussing the meaning of timelines and how students can correctly place events in order based on dates. When you are certain students have an understanding of both, you are ready to pass out this Rosa Parks Timeline Cut and Paste Activity.
This Rosa Parks Timeline Cut and Paste Activity works well as an independent task or a partner activity.
I hope you enjoy!!

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Place six key events from Rosa Parks's life in correct chronological order using given dates
Match a written event description to the date it occurred
Describe, in writing, the event associated with a given date in Rosa Parks's life
Teaching tips
Choose the write-in version for students ready to compose their own event descriptions, and the cut-and-paste version for students who need the events provided
Pre-teach the six events (Rosa Parks's birth, her arrest, the bus boycott, the Supreme Court ruling, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, her death) before assigning the timeline, since neither page explains the events themselves
Use the completed key page to self-check or peer-check the cut-and-paste version before discussing it as a class
Skills covered
Chronological sequencing — students place six dated historical events in the correct order on a timeline.
Event-to-date matching — students connect a written description of an event to the specific year it occurred.
Historical recall or paraphrase — in the write-in version, students state each event from Rosa Parks's life in their own words.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
What is the difference between the two timeline pages?
One page asks students to write each event in their own words under the correct date; the other gives six pre-written event strips on a separate page for students to cut out and paste under the correct date instead.
