Timelines help us to keep track of things that happen on certain days or in certain years. They help us understand history and tell us what happened when and how much time went between events.
WALT...place events on a timeline
80,000 BC - Cave men and women in prehistoric America received quite a surprise when they placed maize (early corn) kernels too close to the fire — voila — the world’s first popcorn!
•1492 - As Columbus set foot on American soil, popcorn was there, too! Native Americans who greeted Columbus enjoyed snacking on the fluffy white stuff and made quite a fashion statement with their popcorn necklaces.
•1620 - Popcorn played a starring role at the first Thanksgiving. Native Americans in Massachusetts brought bowlfuls of popcorn to the potluck feast!
•1700 - Colonial women made the first tasty breakfast cereal by pouring milk and sugar over popcorn.
•1885 - The first popcorn “machine” was invented. Until then, poppers were made to sit in front of stores to attract attention. But vendors wanted to be close to the crowds — especially the crowds near movie theatres. So poppers were made that could be pushed on foot, pulled by horse or mounted on trucks.
