A timeline is a way of displaying a list of events in chronological order. It is pretty much a graphic design showing a long bar labelled with dates alongside itself and the events labelled on points where they would have happened. Instructions:  #1 Use a cm ruler and (in pencil) sketch a line on a piece of paper. See a timeline template provided here, if you wish. #2 Fill in the timeline with events and dates. Go along the line and mark the spots where the events will go. #03 Give your timelines titles; by the way, you can consider the topics to do so.
