<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2013Consider the questions<\/strong>: What happened? Include the basics. Why were these events important? How did they shape the Era? Why should they be studied?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n -Length: stick to 125 words per event.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Format<\/strong>:<\/p>\n DATE: event title- i.e. what happened<\/p>\n IMPORTANCE: your short analysis of what happened and why it was important. Each event should be at least 125 words +. So yes that is 1,250 words. This serves as your Final.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1 date 1 event:<\/p>\n Do not write:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n August 3, 1492: Columbus sets sail.<\/p>\n October 12, 1492: Columbus reaches the New World.<\/p>\n Those are 2 separate events not one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Be sure to include at least 10 important events.<\/p>\n **Don\u2019t write: 1754-1763: the French and Indian War took place.<\/p>\n **Don\u2019t include: events that took place after 1877.<\/p>\n **Don\u2019t: write an essay<\/u>. A timeline means a timeline. I should be able to quickly see the date- event and why it was important.<\/strong><\/p>\n **Don\u2019t use general War events like<\/strong>: the Civil War 1861. If you use Wars, include specific start and end dates.<\/p>\n HINT: World War II did not take place 1492-1877.<\/p>\n **Do a timeline of events.<\/p>\n ***Not 10 events from the same War\/ Movement\/ Era, etc. <\/strong><\/p>\n **Slavery is not an event. <\/strong><\/p>\n A person is not an event.<\/strong><\/p>\n An Act is not an event.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Bill of Rights is not an event. <\/strong><\/p>\n The Constitution is not an event<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2013Do include<\/em>: historic analysis and research as to why such an event was important.<\/p>\n \u2013Do include<\/em>: exact dates for events. Colonists coming to America 1600-1700 is not a specific event. The Civil War 1861 is not an exact date.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2013Grammar<\/strong>: be sure not to say I think\u2026 Keep I, we, us, our, etc out of formal essays. By the way you write you are telling me how you think. I know this can be hard. But you want to write something like: William Penn was the most influential person that has ever lived in Colonial America. And NOT: I think William Penn was a very important person that we all should care about. Be concise and well thought out. Be sure to re-read your paper after writing to check for misspellings. If you can, have someone else read and comment on your essay. Run spell\/ grammar check.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2013Format<\/strong>: Be sure to add your name to the doc title i.e. ZuponMelindaMFINAL. Include a title<\/u> page<\/u> with your name, date, assignment title. Place page numbers at the bottom of each page. Use Times New Roman- 12 pt.
