History Book Maker

Name a period, event or person and a reading level, get an illustrated history reader with a timeline.

The class is doing the First Fleet and the only reader you can find is either a picture book for preps or a textbook chapter. Name the period, the event or the person, then set the reading level and the length. What you get is an illustrated history reader at that level, with a timeline at the back putting the key dates in order. Print on A4 for a guided reading group, or send it home as the week's reader. Treat it as a starting point rather than a source: check the dates and the names against your own materials before you teach from it.
