Homework after Practice Exam

Pulling it together: Timeline Events & Big Ideas

Using the topic your group answered questions about in class (on the purple sheets), create a one-page, typed summary of that era's Big Ideas. Your one-pager should include:

1) A clever title
2) A paragraph describing the major social, economic, and political trends of the time period.
3) A list of key individuals during the time period (at least five) and what they are known for.
4) A list of what you consider to be the 5 most important events during the time period and an explanation of why those events are important as well as when they occurred. (You may use the events on the timelines OR other events that you consider meaningful).

Formatting and organization are up to you--the point of this assignment is to use the MANY events on the timeline to help develop a succinct AND accurate portrait of each topic.
