(ORDER) Annotated Timeline and Evaluative Annotated Bibliography Assignment

Throughout this course, you will be creating an annotated timeline and an evaluative annotated bibliography that will be due in Topic 8. You will be proceeding through the following steps to complete the assignment.

1.Choose a region of the world that you will focus on for this assignment. Please convey that information to your instructor during the first week of class via the supplemental discussion question in Topic 1. (Region is Mesopotamia – Middle east region)

2.Create an annotated timeline of significant events related to the main topic of each week of the course (write 1 page for each week).

3.For each topic in the course, add to your timeline a minimum of five significant historical events related to that topic. Add a brief synopsis of the main details and significance of the events. Three of the five events you choose should be from the region you chose to focus on in step one.

4.It is imperative that as your timeline expands, you differentiate which course topic the various events relate to. This will help you immensely when completing the final timeline presentation due in Topic 8. Using different colored fonts for different topics is one helpful method. A simple topic number annotation after the event would also work. Find a method that work for you.
