What Your Timeline Must Look Like • The FORMAT: • Includes the date • Each point along the line has a title (ex. Invention of the Printing Press) • Each point has enough detail so that you can explain what is going on • You have the freedom to arrange your timeline however you want, as long as it is organized! • This WILL be included in your grade, and will have the weight of a quiz – more than a regular class assignment! • Each date should have a picture or a symbol that represents the event. NO LAST MINUTE DOODLES will count!
