With your table, assemble the pieces in chronological order.
Absolutely NO technology or notes! Use your brains!
Think back to 8th grade for some of these.
If you don’t know the answer, think about any associations you have with the era and make an educated guess.
Everyone must participate!
The first team with all the pieces in the proper places wins!
