TIMELINE DIRECTIONS
You will create a timeline (it'll be BIG, my advice - use butcher paper) covering ALL of the people and events. For each you'll need a PICTURE and DESCRIPTION!! Within the description you will correctly use ALL of the TERMS!! Also you will need to include maps showing ALL of the PLACES listed above.

So your timeline will include
        1. All of the PEOPLE and EVENTS
        2. DESCRIPTIONS of the people and events in which you correctly use the TERMS
        3. PICTURES for each person and event that go along with the descriptions.
        4. MAPS of ALL the PLACES

This will take time and work!
