Ancient and Classical Timeline

Objective: You and your partner will create a timeline outlining eighteen significant events from the ancient and classical civilizations we have studied.

• In-class Workdays: ______________________________________________________________

• Rough draft template is due on: __________________________________________________

• The finished product is due for a test grade on _____________________ at the end of class. Any project not ready to be turned in at the end of class that day will be considered late and receive a penalty of points.

Requirements for each of the eighteen events:

• Handwritten date or dates

• Handwritten name of the event (3-7 words)

• Handwritten one-sentence description (separate sentence adding more information than is included in the name of the event; 10-15 words)

• Hand-drawn, colored picture (no printed pictures!)

You must include a minimum of three SIGNIFICANT events for EACH of the following geographical areas:

• Ancient Mesopotamia (Chapter 1)

• Ancient Egypt (Chapter 1)

• Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han China (Chapters 1 and 2)

• Harappan, Vedic, Maurya, Gupta India (Chapters 1 and 2)

• Classical Greece (Chapter 2)

• Classical Rome (Chapter 2)

Three events from each of the six geographic areas will give you a total of 18 events... No event, which occurred after 500 CE, may be used.

The timeline must be completed on poster paper, which we will provide. It should be neat, creative, colored, and indicate that you spent time and effort. Drawings should indicate an understanding of the event and a modicum of effort (points will not be deducted for lack of artistic ability). All of your drawings must be different. (That means don’t just draw a scroll with squiggles on it for every entry.)

Here is a sample timeline entry (no, you may not use this and remember,

your pictures should be hand-drawn):

9000 BC

Neolithic Revolution

Hunter-gatherer societies learned to farm and, as a result,

could stay in one place, allowing civilization to develop.
