About the Interactive Timeline: 

Interactive timelines are a foundational resource in the Building a Self-Governing People curriculum for middle school. Eight units include a timeline featuring key events from the period, brought to life with primary sources, engaging visuals, concise summaries, and links to additional BRI resources for deeper exploration.

To learn more about how to use the Interactive Timelines, refer to the unit Timeline Lesson Plans. Each plan provides step-by-step activities that guide students in exploring topics across time periods and drawing connections between multiple events.
