Book of Centuries:
Charlotte Mason had all of her children create a Book of  Centuries. It is basically a timeline in a notebook, but each two page spread is devoted to one century. Each child can make their book their very own. They can paste photos, write down movies, songs, plays that were popular during that century. It is a very nice way to personalize your timeline and it can be kept all throughout their schoolyear!

Simply Charlotte Mason offers a Free, Basic Book of Centuries to download with instructions for how to put it all together.
