Student Handout - Activity 4

A Trip Through Your Settlement Group's Past


Name: ___________________ Date: ______________


Graphical element:  Jacques LeCastor  

There are many ways to show the history of a settlement group. In this activity you are going to show the history of your settlement group's history. Follow these steps:

  • Make a list of all the events that are important in your settlement group's history.

  • Organize your presentation on a large piece of paper and mark where each of the events in your list should go.

  • Write a sentence or two about each of your events. Cut them out and arrange them in logical order. Use arrows or some other symbol to link them together in chronological order.

  • Add pictures and/or symbols that will make your presentation more interesting and give people a better idea of what life was like for this settlement group.

The example below shows one way of organizing your presentation. As you can see, it does not have any pictures or symbols to make it interesting. I know you can do a much better job. I look forward to seeing your presentations and learning more about your settlement group.
