Can I use this Biographies worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade American Biographies, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
What is a to-scale timeline?
⌄
It spaces events by the years between them. Each tick mark on these timelines is 10 years.
Which leaders are on the profile cards?
⌄
Eight leaders appear, including Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells, George Washington Carver and Thurgood Marshall.
What do students calculate on the timeline sheets?
⌄
They find how many years passed between events and how old each woman was at a milestone.
