A Visual Learning Environment: SHS Classroom Timeline

“Mr. Nedved’s classroom is one to behold!”
-William D. SHS Mentor Teacher

I am very proud of my classroom at Smithfield High School.  In my Social Studies classroom, I created a visual timeline along two of my walls.  This timeline not only brought an aesthetic appeal, it also proved to be a wonderful teaching resource.  As a resource it taught students historical sequence as well as clearly identify each Virginia World History II (VAWHII) Standards of Learning (SOLs) -each object/word/artifact directly related directly to a VAWHII SOL.  Many of the ‘artifacts’ were student work and students displayed great pride when their ‘artifact’ was selected to be added onto my timeline wall! -KMN
