History+of+the+Consumer+Movement+Timeline

It is easy to create a timeline. To make the actual horizontal line select the cells you want it to appear on. Then using the border command, create a border along the bottom of the cells. To create the dates across the timeline simply add a vertical line where you want it using the drawing toolbar. The dates can be typed into the cell corresponding to the vertical line. Summarizations of timeline events can be added using textboxes. You can add pictures and hyperlinks for more variety. The students can create in color and then print it out in color on the color laser printer.
