Year 3 English Learning to order important events in someone's life story
What is a Biography?
A true story about a real person's life Tells us about important events and dates Helps us understand how someone lived Can be about famous people or everyday heroes
What is a Timeline?
Shows events in the order they happened Uses dates to organize information Helps us see how long ago things occurred Makes it easy to follow someone's life story

Sequencing Words Help Us Order Events
First - what happened at the beginning Next - what came after that Then - what followed next Finally - what happened at the end
Create Your Timeline
Use the dates and events we found Put them in chronological order Write or draw each important event Add the sequencing words to connect events
