-
Three-part-card matching: children place the biography below the portrait, then self-check with the riddle card.

-
Cross-curricular links: integrates seamlessly with other Timelines.
-
Research springboard: every card ends with a natural prompt—“Who am I?”—that propels students to deeper investigation and presentation.
The individuals depicted in this series are specifically chosen and used to accompany the Timeline of Art (TL-034) and the Timeline of Music (TL-033).
