High school history classrooms frequently employ visual learning tools to help students differentiate between finished historical epochs and ongoing historical processes . In room 204 at Oakridge Academy , history teacher Mrs . Bennett created an expansive visual timeline across the back wall . She designed the display to teach twentieth - century European history while simultaneously helping students grasp the grammatical difference between finished past points and continuing periods . On the upper track of the wall display , colourful cards mark specific closed events with exact dates . For example , one card states that the treaty was signed in 1945 , while another notes that the historic wall fell in 1989 . Mrs . Bennett explained that these events happened at finished points in the past , so we describe them using the past simple . Two years ago , her tenth - grade class painted the original wooden backing boards and mounted the first historical photographs during an after - school workshop . Below the dated milestones runs a continuous blue ribbon that represents the open timeline leading into the present day . Labels along this ribbon describe developments that began at a past moment and have continued up to today . For example , cards explain that democratic institutions have flourished since 1990 and that peaceful international treaties have shaped modern commerce for decades . Since then , hundreds of students have studied the wall and have contributed their own research cards to the display . The timeline has grown steadily every semester . Visual representations of time help learners distinguish between closed historical moments and enduring cultural legacies . Observing how past decisions continue to influence modern societies enriches historical comprehension and deepens critical thinking skills . Engaging visual displays make complex chronological concepts tangible and memorable for learners of all ages . What historical milestones have you studied that took place decades ago ? How has your perspective on world history changed since you attended school ?
