Keywords: Kidspiration Timeline, Graphic Organizers
Subject(s): Technology, Art, Special Needs, Social Studies, History
Grades 6 through 12
School: Indian Creek Middle School, Waterman, IL
Planned By: Scott McClure
Original Author: Scott McClure, Waterman


I would use this in two different ways. The first one being a year round timeline that would be presented at the end of the year. Students can use Kidspiration to document all of the major events throughout time that are covered in our social studies book. Pictures would be placed, trivia, sounds, and more that would help explain the topic or event.

The second way I would use Kidspiration would be to break down a chapter and divide it up into the main components. Students would then take the notes from the chapter, add photographs, and create a graphic organizer in the form of a web or tree. This would be a great way for them to gather information while they create a valuable study guide. They could even pass them out to their classmates for them to study off of.
