Lesson Two
-

Make sure all students have got

their parents to write down at
least 3 milestones for them for
their timeline (if not we can
think of other things e.g. when
I was three my brother was
born)
Explain to students that they
will be doing a timeline similar
to what they did with the
Thukeri story and they need to
start from when they were
youngest and then to oldest
drawing pictures explaining
what each thing is.
Once they have drawn the
pictures bring them to me to
scribe down words
