Year 7A & Year 7B
Today you are going to learn:
- how to use timelines
- how to determine decades
Follow the instructions step by step:
1.
Before we talk about the article that we read in the previous lesson, “Father Time”, I want you to tell me a little bit more about yourself, by completing the “My Profile” questionnaire.
2.
The “Father Time” article explains a bit about the use of time and timelines. Read it now if you have not done so in the previous lesson.
3.
Watch the following three videos to clarify some of the concepts in the article:
The first video explains how we show events on timelines.
Father Time – Part 1. (0:57 minutes long)
The second video explains how time is counted from the year zero.
Father Time – Part 2. (1:54 minutes long)
The third video explains what decades and centuries are. It also explains how to determine in which century a specific year falls.
Father Time – Part 3. (2:15 minutes long)
Important: When mentioning a date (or a century) one also has to say if it is AD or BC.

And now for a short test! Let’s see if you can say in which century a specific year falls… (Follow the instructions in the video.)
Father Time – Part 4. (2:56 minutes long)

So, let’s begin with Task 1.
Complete the table to show how time is measured. (There are some clues in the “Father Time” article!) Here is an example of what you have to do:
