Making Timeline about a Person

Task 1:

Complete timeline of famous person of your choice.

1) Find a biography of a famous person online. Do not simply copy and paste a timeline. You will include a link to the biography in which you found the information when you send me the timeline.

2) Make a timeline that includes only 10-12 important events about a famous person’s life. No more than 12 and no less than 10 so make sure that they are key/important events.

3) After completing the timeline, write five questions about the timeline in which the answer can be found in the timeline. (Just like the questions about the video game consoles from the other day)

4) Make a Powerpoint presentation of your timeline. Include pictures and questions and the link to the biography. 

EMAIL POWERPOINT of TIMELINE with 10-12 EVENTS, FIVE QUESTIONS about the timeline, and a LINK to the biography where the information was found.



Task 2)

After completing the powerpoint of a famous person you may begin a time line about yourself or a friend or family member. Remember that timelines should include important or interesting events. Use the same format as the famous person timeline (10-12 events, photos, powerpoint, five questions) except that you do not need to include a link to a biography.
