Annotated Timeline – River Valley Civilizations
You will create an annotated, illustrated timeline to review the key dates and events
discussed in class. The timeline annotations should include the relevant details of
the event, but be concise in the explanation. Illustrations should be relevant to the
events. The long-sized paper for the timelines will be provided, and your timeline
should be done BY HAND. All annotations should be hand-written and original
(your own words). The illustrations may be done by hand or can be printed from
the computer.
The time and attention you put into your creation will help you refresh the learned
content and will assist you in preparation for the Unit Test. The more the effort put
into this assignment, the more you should retain for the test, and the better your
grade. This project counts as a test grade.
