3. As your read and search, make a list of at least ten different discoveries from
different periods of time that interest you. Think of how you will illustrate your
ten events.
4. Brainstorm and draft a plan to show the events on your list in order of discoveryearliest to most recent.
5. Once you have worked out a regular date scale and decided on your ten events of
discovery, get a large paper from Mrs. Horton and begin the good copy of your
timeline. (Use a ruler, work in pencil for all illustrations, make light ruler liners
to write neatly on in pen, You may word process the text at home, cut it out and
paste it onto your timeline later.)
6. For each event, add the following information: the date must be highlighted, the
event must be clear, and brief information- in your own words about the event
must be included.
