Once the timeline has been constructed, have each student pin their date and event in order on a board, or around the room. To re- engage the students and help clarify their level of understanding, have a comprehension quiz, with teams. Start by dividing the class into two groups, each forming a single line. Begin by posing a question to the first players at the front of each line. The first to answer wins a point for their team. Once the question is answered, ask the two students move to the back of the line, and pose another question to the next pair of students. To help keep students focused, points could also be allocated for co-operation and behaviour while students wait for their turn. Suggested questions could include:
