Directions: In this post I would like you to build a time line of major events that occurred before the 20th Century (specifically 1500-1900) that may have contributed to the 20th Century. Each student should contribute 5 events.
An example would be the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in 1439. His innovation paved the way for all books and publications today. Without his, we wouldn’t have ours.
Your timeline entry should be original (no duplicates) and should consist of the following:
- Date
- Short, original (Read: Your words) description of event – with links
- Event keyword; such as war, technology, religion, invention, revolution, etc. [in brackets]
- Your name (in parentheses)
Format your entry like this:
1439 – Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press [invention] (Brammer)
