Timeline - LPS



Annotated Timeline

Directions: On a sheet of paper that can be folded or rolled up or it could be a flip chart, you need to place 23 items (using the criteria below), 23 descriptions explaining their importance), and 23 pictures. The items you select should reflect what you consider to be the most important aspects of the contributions made during the Foundations period (roughly 8,000 B.C.E. to 600 C.E.). Place the events chronologically (dates need to be placed on your timeline and the events placed next to/above/below the date!) Your sentences for each item may be placed neatly elsewhere on the paper or even the back of the paper provided you include the title of the item/event, etc. with the description. You need one picture for each item and these need to be located close to the listed event on the timeline. These pictures do not need to be large. One inch by one inch will suffice. You may draw these if you do more than just slop something down or download from the internet using citations, etc. The religion pictures must be something OTHER than the founder. We want you to either color-code your items into the 3 Foundation sub-units (Early, Classical, Religions) OR put an E (for Early), C (for Classical), and R (for Religion) by each item.

You need to have on your timeline:

- 10 items (persons/events/inventions, etc.) that pertain to Persian Empire, Gupta India, Han China, Ancient Greece, Alexander the Great’s Empire, and the Roman period (2 from each area EXCEPT 1 for Persian and 1 for Alexander but these are the only exceptions.)

- 1 item EACH for the Four River Civilizations and Mayan (5 total)

- 1 item EACH for the eight religions/belief systems (8 total)

- 2-3 sentences needs to be written for each item describing it’s significance (i.e. Mud was “invented” in 2451 B.C.E. and became the foundation for all of the ceremonial centers, government structures, and walls of the compound. This was unique to this area and would not spread elsewhere for 100 more years. More than 5,000 people lost their lives making the first mud mosque.)

- one picture for each item (23 pictures total) *be sure to read all the specifics above!

- Works Cited for your picture citations and your sentences of information

- You will lose points if you do not have quite a bit less than 1/3 of your pictures/information from our textbook! Use OUTSIDE sources (but be sure they are good ones—no wikipedia, blogs, etc.)

CITATIONS and BIBLIOGRAPHY/WORKS CITED integration

Okay, we’re going to try this again…………

TO AVOID PLAGIARISM, you must have citations for ALL pictures and information. The only pictures that will not have a citation are ones you have drawn yourself. Otherwise, ALL maps, pictures, etc. must have citations in the proper form. This will be the author(s), article title or web page title but NOT the url (http…..) (See the examples of citations on the next page followed by the full bibliography entry!)

Remember, on projects/research when you have paragraphs of information, citations are needed there as well. An example of citation:

The Yanomamo do not have any formal education and yet are well-educated by their elders on all they need to know to survive (Chagnon 33). They do not have a written language, it is only oral. In fact, the spelling of Yanomamo varies from one anthropologist to another. They have no concept of time and “only have numbers equal to one, two, and more than two” (Religious Workers). They are thought to be one of the most aggressive groups of people to have ever lived (American Red Cross).

This represents the author(s) and page number. If there is no author, then use the article title and pg. number (if there is one). If there is no author or article title, use the web page, etc. (See the bottom of this page and the next page for the full Bibliography entry that corresponds to each citation!)

FOR PICTURES:

(Chagnon 16) > This would be the case if it has one author and the page number.

OR

(Palmer and Cotton 29) > This would be the case if it has two authors and the page number.

OR

(McKay, et al 156) > This would be the case if it has three or more authors and the page

number.

OR

(Religious Workers) > This would be the case of an article title that does not have an author

or a page number.

OR

(American Red Cross) >This would be the case of a web site that does not have an author, article

title, or a page number.

*********

Then on the works cited page (this is really what it is called because you are only listing sources you have CITED in your project), it would contain the whole source in alphabetical order by author last name. For example:

American Red Cross. (2002, September 21). American National Red Cross. Retrieved July 18, 2002 from .

You are free to use Noodletools or any other web based citation programs. You can refer any MLA format citation questions to the Purdue University writing website titled, “The Owl” (). Just make sure that the citations for the pictures on the timeline, and the content in the paragraphs, are able to be easily and alphabetically referenced.

**********

Quick checks on your Works Cited page:

* Are all entries in alphabetical order?

* Is the entire page double spaced?

* Is the second line and all subsequent lines indented under the first line of each entry?

* Are all citations on the timeline consistent with the Works Cited page?

“WE WILL NOT GO HUNTING FOR YOUR SOURCES, IF THEY ARE NOT CONSISTENT AND IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, YOUR GRADE IS IN TROUBLE!”
