See the scoring rubric below for more details on how you will be graded. Based on your research, create a timeline of the women’s suffrage movement. Timelines show the order in which events happened, ideas developed, and people lived and died. To make your timeline, follow these steps: 1. List in chronological order all 13 events, people, and ideas from Parts I and II of your research. (When events are ordered chronologically, they are listed from earliest to latest.) 2. Draw a horizontal line. Draw a vertical “tick” mark at the far-left of the horizontal line; label this line with the date of the earliest event, person, or idea from your research. Draw a similar tick mark at the far-right of the horizontal line; label this line with the date of the latest event, person, or idea. 3. Calculate the amount of time that separates the earliest event, person, or idea from the latest. Use this amount to create an appropriate scale for your timeline. For example, if your timeline covers 10 years, you might use evenly spaced tick marks to represent every year. If your timeline covers 100 years, you might use evenly spaced tick marks to represent every 5 or 10 years. 4. Plot each event, person, or idea on your list at the appropriate place on the timeline. If something spans several years, use horizontal bars to connect its beginning and end on the timeline. 5. TIP: Plot each event that happens over a period of several years at the bottom of your timeline, and each event that happens in a single year at the top of your timeline. This will make your timeline easier to read.Give your timeline a title. Here is an example of a timeline you might use to show major events from the first half of the 20th century. 1. Abolitism 2. Lucretia Mott 3. Sojourner Truth 4. Elizabeth Cady Stranton 5. SB Anthony 6. Seneca Falls 7. National Women’s Convention 8. Civil War 9. Fifteenth Amendment 10. National America Woman Suffrage 11. Wyoming State 12. World War 1 13. Nineteenth Amendment [Show More]
