Illustrated Timeline (20 pts)
Create a timeline of one of the major revolutions, leaders, or transitions that we've covered this term. Include in this timeline all the relevant and important information for someone who knows nothing about the subject to be able to get a good understanding of the changes that occurred between 1700-1900. You will need to include not just dates and facts but also pictures, drawings, graphs, and/or maps (these can be hand-drawn, cutouts, or computer created). Your timeline should have a MINIMUM of 10 entries with at least 8 pictures representing the event or information described. Not every entry must have a specific date but should accurately represent the course of development for that civilization.
Your timeline should be neat and in color and should be AT LEAST 2 - 8 ½” x 11” sheets of paper and no bigger than a half-poster.
