State Timeline

State Timeline Due 3/21/13

1. Research significant events in your state's history.
2. Choose a minimum of 10 events to communicate your state's past.
3. As you construct your timeline, choose an imaginative way to record the events in time.  For example, if my state was Washington, I would draw the Columbia River and then draw ten salmon on a separate piece of paper.   After coloring and cutting my salmon out, I would glue the salmon on the paper swimming down the river. Then either on the salmon or underneath, I would write the timeline fact.  Please place them in chronological order. (Oldest to most recent).
4.  One of the state's historical events  MUST be the year it became a state.
5. Each event must include a date and a sentence.  Correct spelling and punctuation will be factored into your grade.
6. Colored pencils and a sharpie fine-point or a Uniball pen will be used. (No crayon, marker, or paint.) Please be neat.  Words should be neatly printed, not cursive.
7. Title the page:  (Your State's Name) Timeline in large letters at the top.
