Today in our mini lesson, we will learn a few basic steps to create a timeline using Sutori Timelines.  For me, using a timeline such as Sutori with my Dreaming Spires General Science students, allows me to visualize what I am reading by breaking the subject down into chunks based on either the scientist being studied, or the body of work being discussed.  Additionally, it gives me an opportunity to do further research in areas I find interesting and it allows me to share my discoveries with fellow teachers or classmates.  I was recently assigned the book, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari.  Because I have been working with the Sutori Timeline with my General Science class, the outline in my mind is done in Sutori.  As I listen, I can picture creating a narration of the chapter and pulling out ideas Mr. Harai has discussed and that I found interesting.  Part of my assignment is to be able to share what I read and what I learned from the reading.  I will be sharing my Sutori outline 😊.  The Sutori Timeline allows you to write a narration or excerpts from the reading material and then add, photos, videos, links or quizzes that you feel will help you and your peers understand and interact with the material being covered.  I’ve been please with the connections being made by my students as they have worked on the project together.  Your first step would be to either accept the invitation you have been emailed or sign up for Sutori Timelines and use the class specific code connected with your class’ timeline.

Next, take your reading assignment of the week and add information to the timeline based on that reading.  If a classmate has added what you had in mind, how can you expand on what they added?  What other information is available to share?  Thoughts and questions the reading has prompted in you would be a great forum or discussion starter.  There are many possibilities.

I have created a quick video that shows how to add content that is written, related media and briefly touched on citing your work.  Remember to add initials only at the end of content you have added.

Below you will find the video and links to Sutori Timelines and a couple sites that help with APA citation
