Part B
Creating an illustrated time chart.
What is a time chart?
A time chart should be a chart marked
with time periods and important
events that take place in certain time
periods.
Example
A common history between UK and
France.
“ Down the centuries, the histories of
both countries often interlocked and
sometimes merged. The Vikings fought
King Albert in 871 and besieged Paris
in 885. William of Normandy
conquered much of England in 1066.
From 1154 to 1485 England was under
Anjou-Plantagenet rule.
French monastic orders founded many
abbeys and priories in Britain, including
St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall, built in
1135 by the Abbot of Mont Saint-Michel
in Normandy. For many years, English
monarchs laid claim to much of France a dispute resolved only in 1453 with the
end of the Hundred Years’ War.
Calais remained under English rule
until 1558. After the Reformation and
Henry VIII , the churches in France
and England took separate paths.
The 19th century saw the peak of
the European powers’ colonial
expansion, often in competition.
The 20th century saw the two powers
embark on genuine long-term
cooperation through the Entente
Cordiale.”
