Interactive Timeline Activity: Québec 1905-1980

Did you know that you can create short interactive activities with Canva code, all using plain language prompts?

Here is an example of a quick timeline activity that could be used to quickly check students’ understanding or review events that took place between 1900 and 1980 in Québec. This activity could be done as a whole class on an interactive board, in small groups, or individually, depending on your pedagogical intention.

Are you interested in creating additional timelines similar to this one? You can sign up for a free Canva for Education account that gives you access to premium features. Once you are logged-in, select the Canva AI tab from the main page and type in your prompt. Here is a prompt template that you can customize and use to make interactive timelines like the one above.

Remember: Always verify what you create with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Ensure the information is correct and aligned with the program. Also, take the time to go through the complete activity; AI can make mistakes when coding. If this happens, you can ask it to regenerate the content to fix any coding errors.
