  2. Discuss with class some activities that individuals have done for the good of others. Help recognize that students are doing philanthropy.

    Help each student make a list of philanthropic activities that they have performed.

  3. In a class discussion, students talk about the differences between the chronological terms: first, next, and last.

  4. Students should then decide which activities from their list they would like to put on their personal timeline in order.

    Help students with proper spelling as they write their activities on the timeline. They may enhance their timeline with illustrations.

  5. Students will then share their timelines with each other. Display their timelines in the room next to the class timeline.

Assessment: 

Determine students' ability for sequencing of first, next, and last based on the student timelines. In addition, when students share their work, teacher can assess for understanding.
