Jonah's Life

Everything we know about the prophet Jonah is found in the book of Jonah. He disobeyed God by not going to Nineveh and he was thrown into the sea when they realized the storm was because of Jonah. God created a great or huge fish to swallow him. We are not told what kind of fish. Jonah obeyed God and preached in Nineveh.
 The following information Anchor Charts, worksheets and more are in the lesson and application pack.

This is a Life Sequencing Timeline for Jonah. There is a completed one (right) for a teacher's visual, if you are keeping a notebook and just want it as a chart, or you do not like the cut and glue. If the students only put glue above the dotted line, they will have a lift-the-flap with the information under each photo.
