History - Timeline follow-up assignment

US History 1 Timeline: New & Improved

-

A few weeks ago, students in all classes completed a US History 1 timeline including the basic topics that we will cover throughout the year in US 1...
-
All students are now being asked to re-create that timemline (Due: 10/27).
It should be accurate, creative, and attractive.
It is also the perfect opportunity for those students who got a grade lower than they'd like on the original assignment to improve that grade.
-
... for those students who turned in the original:
the new grade can replace the old grade if the student so desires
-
... for those students who did not turn in the original:
the grade for this timeline will be averaged with the original 0

-

Below is a copy of the assignment instructions:

DIRECTIONS:

Recreate the timeline that we worked on in class… making it as accurate and attractive as possible...

-

Fix any mistakes that you may have made the first time through (I’ve corrected them already on the timelines that I passed back)
-
Be neat & creative. (That means…)

-
- Make sure that everything on the timeline is legible (easily read) and well spaced
- Make sure the timeline can be read from a distance (don’t make it too light)
- Keep the timeline centered &
- Create the timeline using any material(s) you’d like… (for example: regular 8 x 11 paper, Poster board, fabric, markers, magazine cut-outs, pens etc.)

The re-creation of your timeline is due:
Monday October 27th

Once all of the timelines are done we will judge them as a class (using the rubric on the back of this page). The top 2 or 3 from each class will be displayed … either in or outside the classroom!
