the first dot, write another date under it, draw a vertical line under the

date and write another ‘happening’, etc. Help the pupils understand that 
a timeline helps you know when something happened.

look at the timeline on Page 34, and Pupil B on Page 59. 
STEP 3: Ask the pupils copy their timelines into their exercise books.
STEP 4: Then explain that they should ask and answer in turn as 
shown in the example and complete the missing information.
