Timelines - Chronological Order

Congrats to The Russians for making the best Timeline and to those who turned their Timelines on time and were posted here!

The best works were selected (6 out 20 groups) mainly based on the accuracy of the information as it appeared on the readings assigned.

When making Timelines it is important to keep some considerations in mind. You need to:

  • be as concise and precise as possible
  • present your info in a clear manner
  • choose your timeline design carefully depending on the amount of info that you need to put down (look at the two examples below).
