Ancient China ProjectThis project has two parts- be sure that you do your best to complete both parts.Part one- Timeline- 70 points.Students will be given a timeline sheet, which we will set up together in class and label all year markers. From there, students will place all events properly on the timeline. A list of the events is provided for students below. Students will need to find the year in which the events occurred and order them from oldest to newest. Then students will place the event in the appropriate place on their timeline. Students will include a short description of the event and the year that it occurred. Students will then select 10 of the 25 events to illustrate on the timeline paper.
