Now, find at least 10 other similar items (authors, works,
events) that are relevant to this class, and put them on your
time line. Use our readings as good sources for such things.
Answer the following questions thoughtfully but briefly, as part of this assignment:
Does your timeline have a scale? Does it need one? Why or why
not?
Does your timeline include overarching historical eras? Would
that help make it better? How (not)?
Does your timeline help the viewer understand temporal distance
and significance? How?
Does your timeline in any way clue the viewer in to non-temporal
aspects (e.g. spatial geography: where the person or event is
from/occurs, what sort of writing X did or is, importance of X,
etc.). How can you include that on the timeline most efficiently?
Think color, background, size, style of font, etc.
Do other items occur to you that should be included on this
timeline?
Give the timeline a good, helpful title.
If these questions made you think your timeline needs revision or
could benefit from revision, do it or justify why you didn't do it
(lack of "time" is no excuse : - ). If you do revise, describe
what you did.
