Three-Dimensional Timelines Make History More Concrete.

Bechtol, William M.

Social Studies Texan, v4 n3 p26-29 Fall 1988

Noting the difficulties in teaching history to elementary students, Bechtol proposes the three-dimensional timeline as a method of presenting historical time concepts in a concrete manner. Describes how the timeline covers family, U.S., and world history; discusses its advantages; and provides tips for its use. (GEA)
