It was the latest barrage in a drill that the previous day saw two American bases temporarily go on alert over the launches.

The launches took place on Wednesday, said Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the Guard’s aerospace division.

Skim through the Football history timeline, using the attached Timeline Summary to note the most important events. Directions Ask the students to summarize a few of the chapters of Amazing NFL Stories. Help them notice the kinds of stories the chapters tell (a first-time accomplishment, a change in how the game was played, a rival league, or an all-time record). Split the students into six groups. Assign each group a date range: • 1869 to 1919 • 1960 to 1979 • 1920 to 1939 • 1980 to 1999 • 1940 to 1959 • 2000 to present (Note: On the Football History timeline, all events 1869 to 1939 are in the same category. Since that category is the longest, this activity splits it in half.) Have each group read all the events in their date range on the Football History timeline, looking for the kinds of key events that are described in Amazing NFL Stories. Each group should choose 8 years from their date range that they feel included the most important events. They should write down each year, along with a summary (two or three sentences) of the events that make it important. Evaluation Did the students correctly identify the most important events in their assigned date range? Give them 1 point for identifying each event and 2 points for summarizing it objectively.
