Why Use This Tool

Help children plan a story or prepare for a special event, or let teens review memories and stories from the past. The Timeline tool allows them to create and organize events--real and imagined--and even add images to the descriptions. Saving capability allows them to come back to unfinished work, or they can share their final timeline with friends and family via e-mail.

Here's What To Do

Discuss with children and teens how they might use the timeline: to help write a story, plan an event, recall past memories, and so forth. Then move to the interactive tool and help them choose the best way to organize the timeline, either by dates, time of day, significant events, or some other unit of measure.
back to top
Children and teens are then prompted to label and title each entry (for example: Step One-Send out invitations) as well as type a description of it (for example: Mom has guest list and addresses in drawer by the phone). Add images for each label to give the timeline even more visual pop! Entries can be dragged and arranged in order on the timeline.

Before we play the game, let's go over needs and wants one more time.

A need is something you or your family must have in order to live safe, healthy lives. You need clothes, food, shelter, medicine and transportation.

A want is something that you or your family enjoys. You can wait to buy the things you want, because you do not need them to survive.

Let's think about some of these situations. Are they wants, or needs? Pick the best answer.

1. You bought tickets to see your favorite band. Is this a want or need?

2. You buy a bus pass so that you can get to work in the morning. Is this a want or need?

3. You go to the store and buy fruit, milk and bread. Is this a want or need?

4. You and your friends go out to dinner and then you see a movie. Is this a want or need?

5. You go to the doctor to get an x-ray because you fell and hurt your arm. Is this a want or need?

6. You bought a new TV at the store; it's bigger than your old TV. Is this a want or need?

When you are going to buy something, it is important to ask yourself, "Is this a need or a want?" When you buy things that you want, before you buy things that you want it is easier to save money.

Do you think you know the difference between needs and wants? Drag the items you need into the highlighted box.

King George III of England and Ireland (1738-1820) was the longest reigning monarch before Queen Victoria and Elizabeth II. He was the king of Great Britain when the American Revolutionary War broke out and the colonists gained independence from the British crown. Keep reading for the comprehensive on site fact file detailing key events in the life of King George III or download our entire worksheet bundle to teach in the home or classroom environment.

He was the eldest son of Frederick Prince of Wales, of the Hanover dynasty, and Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha. The young George was privately tutored by John Stuart. At the age of 8, he knew the English, German, and French languages. His interest in natural sciences was seen through his own astronomical observatory.

In 1751, after his father's death, George inherited the title 'Duke of Edinburgh', making him the next heir to the throne. Nine years later, he ascended to the throne when his grandfather died. In his 50-year married life, George III had 15 children with his only wife, Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.

As the new king, he inherited the ongoing Seven Years War with the French. After the war in 1763, Great Britain faced a huge financial deficit. George Grenville (George III's Prime Minister) urged the king and Parliament to impose taxes on the American colonies to gain revenue.

By 1764 and 1765, the Sugar Act and Stamp Act were passed by the Parliament with the king's approval. The Stamp Act was one of the main reasons why the colonists questioned the British Crown and Parliament over the issue of taxation without representation. From Boston, Massachusetts, the battle cry against the imposition of the Stamp Act spread to other colonial cities. The Stamp Act was the imposition of taxes on all printed documents produced and used within the colony. Legal documents, pamphlets, newspapers and even playings cards were included.

In 1766, the Stamp Act was repealed by King George III after a series of colonists movements, including the Declaration of Rights and Grievances made by the delegates through the Stamp Act Congress. Though it was repealed, the Parliament passed the Declaratory Act, subjecting the colonists to British laws.

Amidst the colonists' refusal, the Parliament continued to pass taxation laws over the thirteen colonies. Examples are the Townshend Act, Tea Act, and the Intolerable Act. After the series of events in Boston, the American Revolutionary War broke out, led by the Continental Army with General George Washington as the commander. He was appointed by the Second Continental Congress along with the last negotiation piece (the Olive Branch Petition) sent to King George III and the Parliament.

In 1779, George III insisted that the British troops fought the Continental army. But, in 1781, the colonists found the French as an ally and defeated the British troops, securing the treaty for independence in 1783.

In 1789, George III regained his fame after winning the war with Napoleonic France at the Battle of Waterloo and incorporating Ireland to Great Britain.

He was also known as Mad King George III. In 1811, the king suffered from mental illness after personal and political pressures. As a result, the Parliament passed the Regency Act, enabling Prince George, the eldest son, to rule Great Britain according to the will of his father.

George III died at Windsor Castle on January 29, 1820, after almost 60 years as the King of England and Ireland.

Biography

Best known as: A leader in the Underground Railroad

Biography:

Where did Harriet Tubman grow up?

Harriet Tubman was born intoslavery on a plantation in Maryland. Historians think she was born in 1820, or possibly 1821, but birth records weren't kept by most enslavers. Her birth name was Araminta Ross, but she took the name of her mother, Harriet, when she was thirteen.

Life as a Slave

Life as an enslaved person was difficult. Harriet first lived in a one-room cabin with her family that included eleven children. When she was only six years old, she was loaned out to another family where she helped take care of a baby. She was sometimes beaten and all she got to eat was table scraps.

Harriet Tubman
by H. Seymour Squyer

Later Harriet worked a number of jobs on the plantation such as plowing fields and loading produce into wagons. She became strong doing manual labor that included hauling logs and driving oxen.

At the age of thirteen Harriet received a horrible head injury. It happened when she was visiting the town. An enslaver tried to throw an iron weight at one of his enslaved, but hit Harriet instead. The injury nearly killed her and caused her to have dizzy spells and blackouts for the rest of her life.

The Underground Railroad

During this time there were states in the northern United States where slavery was outlawed. The enslaved in the South would try to escape to the North using theUnderground Railroad. This wasn't a real railroad. It was a number of safe homes (called stations) that hid the enslaved as they traveled north. The people that helped enslaved people along the way were called conductors. The enslaved would move from station to station at night, hiding in the woods or sneaking onto trains until they finally reached the north and freedom.

Harriet Escapes

In 1849 Harriet decided to escape. She would use the Underground Railroad. After a long and scary trip she made it to Pennsylvania and was finally free.

Leading Others to Freedom

In 1850 the Fugitive Slave Act was passed. This meant that the formerly enslaved could be taken from free states and returned to their owners. In order to be free, formerly enslaved people now had to escape to Canada. Harriet wanted to help others, including her family, to safety in Canada. She joined the Underground Railroad as a conductor.

Harriet became famous as an Underground Railroad conductor. She led nineteen different escapes from the south and helped around 300 of the enslaved to escape. She became known as "Moses" because, like the Moses in the Bible, she led her people to freedom.

Harriet was truly brave. She risked her life and freedom to help others. She also helped her family, including her mother and father, to escape. She was never caught and never lost one of the enslaved.

The Civil War

Harriet's bravery and service did not end with the Underground Railroad, she also helped during theCivil War. She helped to nurse injured soldiers, served as a spy for the north, and even helped on a military campaign that led to the rescue of over 750 enslaved people.

Later in Life

After the Civil War, Harriet lived in New York with her family. She helped poor and sick people. She also spoke out on equal rights for blacks and women.

Interesting Facts about Harriet Tubman

Her nickname as a child was "Minty".

She was a very religious woman having learned about the Bible from her mother.

Harriet bought a house in Auburn, New York for her parents after helping them to escape from the south.

Harriet married John Tubman in 1844. He was a free black man. She married again in 1869 to Nelson Davis.

She usually worked the Underground Railroad in the winter months when the nights were longer and people spent more time indoors.

There is a story that slaveholders offered a reward of $40,000 for the capture of Harriet Tubman. This is likely just a legend and not true.

Harriet was very religious. When she led fugitives across the border she would exclaim "Glory to God and Jesus, too. One more soul is safe!"
