  6. All right, you have a biography book that has been checked by Ms. Meschke. Now what? Read the biography. While you are reading, keep a journal of 12 events in chronological order. (Chronological order? What does that mean? ) Create an Awesome Album with mementos on each page. Sentences will describe the event. This is the writing part. The beginning of November, you’ll get to present your awesome album to the class dressed as that individual. Do I really dress up? YEP!

  7. It is the same thing as putting events of a story in the correct sequence. First, second, next, then, finally. This is in Chronological Order because the events are placed from the first to the last in order.

  21. To sum it up. Read the biography book. While you are reading, keep a journal of 12 events in chronological order (Writing down the dates is a good way to do this).

The pages must include at least one descriptive sentence about the event and a memento. You’ll be assigned a date to present your awesome album to the class. You’ll need to dress as that individual and bring a prop. The costume can be very simple – even made out of paper.

  22. Can I expect any help? You will be getting handouts to help you remember. We will have lessons so you can learn about family trees and chronological order.
