HOW TO CREATE A TIMELINE PREHISTORY

TIMELINE A graphical representation of a period of time, on which important events are marked. (Oxford Advanced Learner´s Dictionary)

Think for a while… REASONS TO MAKE A TIMELINE what are timelines useful for? q They can be used to record events from a story or a history lesson in a sequential format q Keep events in chronological order q Help us to make connections q timelines can appear visually less complex than pure text q to help students organize information in a chronological sequence so that they can better understand growth, change, recurring events, cause and effect, and key events of historical, social, and scientific significance

HOW TO DO IT STEPS TO FOLLOW 1 2 Learning by doing… TAKE A PIECE OF PAPER ( IN YOUR NOTEBOOK), A PENCIL AND A RULER (HORIZONTAL) GIVE IT A TITLE: PREHISTORY (TOP OF 3 4 5 6 THE PAGE) DECIDE UNIT OF MESURE, ACCORDING TO THE LENGHT OF THE PERIOD: YEARS, DECADES, CENTURIES OR THOUSANDS (THOUSANDS) DRAW TWO PARALLEL LINES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE and CLOSE THEM IN THEIR ENDS AS IT IS MODELED COLOUR THE TIMELINE CORRESPONDING TO THE DIFFERENT PERIODS MARK THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS

1 TAKE A PIECE OF PAPER ( IN YOUR NOTEBOOK), A PENCIL AND A RULER (HORIZONTAL)

2 GIVE IT A TITLE: PREHISTORY (TOP OF THE PAGE) PREHISTORY TIMELINE

3 DRAW TWO PARALLEL LINES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE and CLOSE THEM IN THEIR ENDS AS IT IS MODELED PREHISTORY TIMELINE

PREHISTORY OBSERVE THAT IN THIS TIMELINE ALL THE DATES ARE BEFORE CHRIST (BC), THAT IS WHY THEY COME INVERSELY TO THE PRESENT TIMES… 500 BC WRITE THE FIRST AND LATE DATES ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT ENDS 4 million yeas ago 4

DECIDE UNIT OF MESURE, ACCORDING TO THE LENGHT OF THE PERIOD: YEARS, DECADES, CENTURIES OR THOUSANDS… (THOUSANDS) THINKING… NOT DOING YET…. PREHISTORY 500 BC 4 million yeas ago 5 HOWEVER IN THIS TIMELINE WE HAVE A SLIGHT PROBLEM –NOT DIFFICULT TO SOLVE…- IT IS SO LONG THAT WE CAN´T REPRESENT IT IN A SINGLE LINE, FOR THAT REASON, WE BREAK IT WITH A SYMBOL THAT INDICATES A LAPSUS OF TIME AS LONG AS WE WANT

DIVIDE IT INTO EQUAL SEGMENTS CORRESPONDING TO THE THOUNSANDS REPRESENTED: BE ACCURATE!! AND WRITE THE DATES IN BETWEEN PALEOLITHIC IN PREHISTORY WE HAVE THESE MAIN PERIODS NEOLITHIC METAL AGES THIS ONE IS DIVIDED INTO COPPER BRONZE IRON 500 BC 1000 BC 2000 BC 3000 BC 4000 BC 5000 BC 6000 BC 7000 BC 8000 BC 9000 BC 11000 BC 10000 BC PREHISTORY 4 million yeas ago 6
