 Actually, the activity can be modified as creative as you want. For the lesson, you need to choose the appropriate one, such as history, biography, daily activity or maybe recount text. Many things can be done with timeline.

It is one example of lesson plan how you integrate your lesson with technology (Online Timeline).
This lesson plan made by my friend and I. 

As the pre activity, You can do just like this.

1. Greetings.

2. pictures of famous people such as President Soekarno, Harry Styles and Thomas Alpha Edison (Lead-in)

3. Eliciting some question about those people.

 
 In the main activity, you will continue just like this. But, remember that you can have your own creative and fun activity. It is just an example.


1. Giving one biography text of those famous people.
2. Asking the students to read the text individually.
3. Teacher will ask some basic question of the text and give some help about the new vocabulary. 
4. Asking the students to fill the blank space of the handout (Group work).
