Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

What happened yesterday? What will happen tomorrow?

These are foundational questions of history. Many schools 

teach history by having children memorize dates and long-ago wars 

from a textbook. But history can also be a living, personal story. Before 

a child can understand the Roman Empire or the Industrial Revolution, 

it helps for them to first understand the passage of time in their own 

lives. We are going to make the timeline of human events physical and 

personal.
