9-12
Materials
Three-part cards, layout of the thirty-five cards of the timeline, but the only book that needs to be placed is Reynard the Fox. (See montessorilitlines.com.) This makes the presentation of a particular form more dramatic. Writing or composition notebook.
Preparation
Students need to know the story of Reynard the Fox. I recommend Peter deVries's version, but any other version will do. It's helpful if students have a background in "Great Lesson: Literature" (see Wikisori, 9102, Language) which gives them a picture of the whole of literature, and some work in how animals figures in children's literature.
