Collaborative timeline activity for face-to-face classes on history
- An easily produced and repeated classroom activity, originally developed for listening comprehension and speaking practice in language classes, based on filling out collaboratively a timeline spreadsheet in the digital audio lab:
- Listen and process/write:
- Advanced German class listens to segments of an authentic German cultural history documentary from the authentic German TV series “100 deutsche Jahre” (which follows a single topic throughout 20th century German history).
- And each student enters notable summaries of events with their time of occurrence into a spreadsheet
- that the teacher
- has at beginning of activity distributed to each individual student using the digital audio labs file management features
- and after listening collects from students, merges, either with student author data or an anonymous student identifier (for corrections), into an excel timeline spreadsheet
- and visualizes the collaborative outcome as an easily collated timeline on the projector to the entire class.
- Speaking: Discuss!
- Identify what are the gravity points for the comprehension of the video by the class: Why are these events deemed important?
- What are the outliers? Criticism? Justification?
- Also correct language errors in the student output.

- launch link to publically editable spreadsheet to class
- visualize using excel web app charts
