Task:

To construct and annotate a timeline of significant events that span across your lifetime.

Describe each event by including visual and researched evidence.

(A) Personal section: for the top half of the timeline.

Choose four significant events that happened in your life.

Include a picture and a detailed description: your description needs to include the “Who, What, Where, When, How and Why” that explains the significance of your chosen event(s). The description must include the importance of the event to your life.

Your time line ends in 2022. It might be helpful to bracket off (or colour code- with a legend) different phases of your life, i.e. pre-school, primary and secondary school.

(B) National and International section: for the bottom half of the timeline:

In the bottom half of the time line you are to include:

 Two global events (Impacts multiple countries)

 Two national events (impacts most of Australia)

(C) Bibliography:

It is important to include a bibliography, which references the sources you have used accurately. Use the first website that comes up when you Google: “MyBib.com”.

o The bibliography needs to be on the back of your timeline poster. You will need to make sure that you use at least four different sources for your information.

Some important points

Ensure that your timeline is clear and that you have included pictures.

Do not crowd the timeline; instead use the whole poster paper to display your timeline.
