Timelines aren’t only for old events. People still use them today. They help us keep the track of important dates in our lives. You can even make a timeline for yourself.

A timeline looks a lot like a number line when you begin. Draw a straight line across the page. Make little marks for the important events in your life. Your timeline might begin with your birth. Include things like the first time you walked, and when you started school.

It might show the year that you were in each grade. The year goes on one side of each mark. The event goes on the other side. He is a sample timeline:
