TP – Students will learn to hyperlink by creating a historical timeline.
Here is a sample of a completed timeline about the American revolution:
Here is a template you can use to begin to create your own timesline:
What should you do?
1. Choose a time period you will use to create your timeline. It can be the stages of a significant event (a specific battle) or the changes that take place over a long period (the evolution of computers) of time.
2. Make sure that you record the website address for every site you obtain information from. You will use this to make a works cited list at the end. (Make sure your information is from a valid site)
3. Make sure your timeline contains at least four time period links to other slides with details. How do you get back to the timeline slide?
4. Your timeline also needs to contain at least two links to websites/videos/pictures.
5. Your last slide will list all the websites you used to gather your facts (works cited)
6. As always, grammar and spelling count as part of your grade.
