Project 2

Create a pictorial timeline presentation of the assigned section or unit (a lot on a little or a little on a lot) that shows the major events that helped shape the era. Make sure not to forget any major events from the period. Minor details may also be needed to be included to help put major facts into context and help show how one event led to another.
              
Moreover, your timeline needs to emphasize, “How did this section begin, end, and all the steps in between that led from beginning to end?”
  
Requirements:
  • Each event must be labeled, dated, and include a picture and short sentence describing its importance
  • Color illustration (drawn or pasted) for each image clip
    • stick figures are not acceptable for drawn illistrations
  • Timeline from beginning to end of section or unit (a lot on a little or a little on a lot) in chronological order
  • works cited (bibliography) at the end (at least 2 separate sources)
  • If done digitally (PowerPoint), multiple events must be on each slide
  • EXTRA consideration (5-10pts) will be given to physical/tangible timelines
