  1. OPENERAIM: How can we use timelines as a tool for studying history? In your notebook, #2 : Write & Fill in the blanks. A Decade = _____________ years A Millennium =____________ years A Century= ____________years 10 1,000 100

  2. *NOTES --- Write these down in your notebook, # 2* B.C. (before Christ) refers to the time period before Christ was born. It is also known as B.C.E. (Before the Common Era), because some historians want the timeline to work for all religions, not just Christians. A.D. (from the Latin words Anno Domini-meaning “in the year of our Lord”) refers to the years from the birth of Christ up to the present. Instead of A.D, many writers and historians now use C.E., meaning the “Common Era”. How should present time (January 6, 2016) be identified? B.C. or A.D.? BCE or CE?

  3. Directions: Create at timeline in your notebook. Put the events & dates in chronological order from the earliest to the most recent. (5 minutes) 500 B.C.

The dating system goes from 1 BCE to 1 CE • So the FIRST century that “the Lord” (anno domini) was alive was from was from 1 CE to 100 CE  The 2nd century was from 101 CE to 200 CE  The 20th century was from 1901 CE to 2000 CE  • In 2001 CE, we entered the 21st century • SAME THING GOING BACKWARDS (BC/BCE):Years 1 to 100 BC were the 1st century B.C.Years 101 to 200 BC were the 2nd century BC
