For an excellent score according to the rubric in the lesson:
1. Timeline: The timeline clearly describes key events in U.S. history.
2. Facts/Dates: All facts and details are accurate.
3. Organization: Even tic marks are included, and key events are in correct chronological order.
4. Layout: The timeline is attractively laid out and is visually appealing.
I am going to add:
1. Timeline needs to have no less than 5, but no more than 10 events.
2. Timeline can be done by hand or digitally
3. Pictures are optional but welcome.
*The instructions suggest using events that students have studied in Unit 4 so far.
