"The books lay out a comprehensive, chronological program that should cover all of the content required for U.S. History....practical for homeschoolers."

-
"Instead of feeding information directly to students, it poses questions and directs student reading in search of answers."
-

Creating Giant Timelines is as Easy as 1-2-3!
1. Students complete activity sheets
-
Each activity sheet focuses on an important date, event, person, place, or idea.
-
Students create and complete maps, charts, graphs, and graphic organizers; analyze primary sources, compare and contrast time periods, and more.
-
Activity sheets incorporate critical thinking skills, including chronological thinking, main idea and details, comparing and contrasting, cause and effect, and more.
"The books include everything you need (and honestly, more) to create a variety of different timelines....Creating a timeline allows for endless possibilities, but with very little work for mom."
— Not The Former Things
2. You and your kids create timelines with the activity sheets

The GIANT American History Timeline provides a comprehensive picture of all major periods in American history.
-
Two timeline plans are provided for each of the 16 units. One is a basic chronology and the other portrays complex historical developments.

You can also customize timelines for any time period, or historical theme, or to cultivate critical thinking skills.
"Our homeschool has delighted in discussing the historical events as we determine where the timeline pieces need to go....Affordable—for a large homeschool family on a budget, this factor makes me smile."
— Rock Your Homeschool
3. Guide students with extensive teaching materials
-
Detailed teaching directions for each unit include Unit Overview, Focus Activities, Constructing the Timeline, Critical Thinking Skills, Individual Activity Sheet Notes, and a Unit Assessment.
-
Complete answer keys for all activity sheets and assessments.
"Students don’t simply read about history....they instead learn to research, discover, and articulate the domino effect of separate events....Not a linear timeline in which you’ll set up a list of dates....It’s a means to create visual, research-based projects."
"Each page requires thought, research, and critical thinking skills. While answers are provided for the parent (there’s a full key in the back), the answers aren’t immediately apparent to the student. I love that!....the nature of the approach—deep research, critical thinking, and hands-on manipulation—makes it ideal for the academically gifted child."
