How Do We Measure Time?
• Time, as we usually use it, is measured in
years BC and AD.
• BC (Before Christ) counts the years before the
Birth of Jesus.
• AD (Anno Domini) counts the years after the
birth of Jesus.
• Now in History we usually use the term BCE
(before Common Era) instead of BC and CE
(common Era) instead of AD.

Foldable Notetaking!
• We will be creating a foldable time with which
to take notes.
• Hot dog fold
• 2nd hot Dog Fold
• Mark of five equal sections (about 1 ¾ in.)
with a pencil
• Draw a timeline arrow across the length of the
foldable, and label it according to the diagram
on the next slide.

After copying the writing, use your scissors to cut each line, being careful
to NOT CUT THROUGH THE BACK PIECE, this way the timeline will stay
together.
