A Street Through Time by Dr. Anne Millard takes young readers on a journey through 12,000 years of history, showing how a single street evolves from the Stone Age to modern times. Through detailed illustrations and historical insights, the book teaches children about change, resilience, and the impact of human innovation. It fosters curiosity about the past and an appreciation for how communities adapt over time, making history engaging and relatable.

We incorporate A Street Through Time into our literature-based curriculum through interactive lessons and activities. Here are a few examples:

• Historical Analysis and Creative Writing: Students analyze the changes in the street's architecture, technology, and society. They then write a series of diary entries from the perspective of a character living in different eras depicted in the book.
• Art and Cartography Projects: Inspired by the book illustrations, students create their own "street through time," focusing on a fictional or real place. This project combines art skills with historical research.
• Comparative Social Studies: Through guided discussion, students compare and contrast the lives of people at different points in the street's history, examining how jobs, social roles, and daily activities have evolved. 
• Science and Technology Evolution: Focusing on the technological advancements shown in the book, students explore how innovations in fields like agriculture, transportation, and communication have shaped human history.
