Biography Timeline Example
Posted February 13, 2015
Here are a two examples from last year's class and a checklist to use as you create your own famous person's timeline.
Here are a two examples from last year's class and a checklist to use as you create your own famous person's timeline.
- Is your famous person's name posted in an important place?
- Is the timeline a straight line?
- Does your "paper doll" character resemble your famous person?
- Did you plan ahead? Two captions above the line and two below, so they all fit?
- Are your important events in order from left to right?
- Did you put your name on the paper? Small writing in a corner would be best.
- You may add items associated with your famous person to add to the effectiveness of your presentation. The ball on the top example informs the reader that Pele must be from Brazil and....he must be a soccer player. The addition of Pele's face provides additional important information.
