ILLUSTRATED TIME LINE PROJECT

Social 7 – History of Canada – Part #1

Your mission is to plot on a timeline the major historical developments which occurred in Canada from 1100 to after confederation.

You are free to portray any significant historical events that may have had an effect on developing Canada during these specific time periods.

Requirements:

A. The time line will be proportional, that is the units of time will be spaced evenly even if the historical events are not. Please use pencil so you can make changes if needed. After everything is arranged the way you want it, then use ink and color.

B. Each event is to be titled with the appropriate historical event, the date or dates of the event, and illustrated by a coloured drawing representing the event. You may use pictures from the computer.

C. The location of your events on the timeline will be alternated above and below the timeline, with the first event above, the next below, and so on. If your illustration is not directly above its date, draw an arrow to the date.

D. This is a group project, but you will also have an individual mark.

E. The criteria for a quality project will be identified on the rubric provided.
