You know what would be useful? Take all those events and ask the children to put them in a time-line. Let them search any book they need in the process.

You know what is completely useless? Telling the date each happened on their respective classes, and that this knowledge will be tested.

I disagree that it is completely useless. You're basically arguing that time is only useful as a relative measure, not an absolute one. While that is true in some sense (the ordering of events and the space between them is what matters), because history is so vast and interconnected and a total ordering is desirable, it just makes more practical sense to learn the absolute date of an event, not just the "relative" date
