Dear Readers,
This post is for Challenge B tutors who, like me, are working on the monumental task of preparing our students for Mock Trial in May. During the research phase of the project we are creating a timeline. Last year I made mine on freezer paper and added to it when we discovered new details. Here is what it looks like all together:

We noted the events that took place long before the case:
It isn’t necessary to do such a big production, though. Regular 8.5 x 11 paper in landscape orientation will do just as well. And some people prefer their timeline as a list on lined paper, going down rather than across.
Hope that helps.
Thank you so much! You are very helpful to this newbie B tutor :)
It is my pleasure! I am passing along what I have learned. Mock trial is one of the biggest things your kids will ever do (and it teaches the director a thing or two, too.) Eat it like an elephant–one bite at a time.
