Focus and Review:   Students will focus on the sequencing of events by years since they were born. They will use photos to represent these times, and will use the word processor to type one-sentence captions to accompany the photos.

Teacher Input: Model our own time line and give explanation of photos and why I chose them as important events in my life.
 Model how to use word processing, and how to divide paper up into five sections so that photos may be pasted on.

Guided Practice: Walk around the room, and aid children in any way possible. Have students show you what photos they will be using, and help them to construct their sentence captions under them.

Independent Practice: Construct final draft of time line, and allow children to peck around on the computer so that they can get familiar with word processing.

Closure/Assessment: Check to see that all captions were word processed and that their timelines are in proper sequence.
