That sounds like a *great* idea. Timelines were the only way I was able to put things historical facts in a meaningful format. I know everyone learns differently, but for me, just reading dates didn't really help.
We would make timelines using different colored lines for different types of events - that helped a lot! History is still a really weak subject for me, but at least some of it stuck.
Eek! Typsos strike again!
I shouldn't try to communicate after 9 PM.
