Students will be given an 81/2'' by 14'' sheet of paper which they are to use horizontaly to create a timeline of the important events of their lives. The instructor will model his own timeline on the white board with his own personal events. When they have brought their timelines to the present, the students will be encouraged to extend the time line into the future and they will have to predict events that may happen in the future. They are to think of goals which they have and when they may be accomplished. Students will show their timelines to a partner and discuss the important events of their lives, and their hopes and dreams as they are placed on their future timelines. Students will then complete the following questions in their journals.
Journal Questions.
- Look at the events you placed on your past timeline. What do these events say about you as a person and what is important to you?
- Do the points on you time line cover ALL the events in your life or just the happy one? Why do you think this is so?
- Look at the events that you placed on your future time line. Which of these events would take work and sacrifice, and which will probably happen anyway?
- How do the events of your timeline compare to those with your partner?
