• Your timeline should be built in a web site format using a program like Microsoft Expresion Web. 
  -Instructions on how to build a web site. 

• Your timeline should include 3 columns: one for each year of your life, one for an event in each year of personal importance and one for an event of wider international importance.
  

• For each year of your life you should very briefly describe an event that happened to you, and an event of international importance that also happened in that year. Usually your parents will be able to help you out on this. 
• If you try typing in Google, different combinations of words, something like 'history timelines' or 'history events timeline' etc., you will be able to find sites like the ones below, to help you on international historical events:

• Select one event from your life. For this event, create a new web page in your website and describe the event in more detail. If possible you should have images (photos, objects etc.) to illustrate this event. For  the event you might like to consider answering the following questions:

a.       When did the event happen?

b.      How old were you?

c.       What exactly happened?

d.      Can you describe the details of the scene – what it looked like, any smells/sounds/colours you remember?

e.       Can you remember any dialogue (conversation) from the time this happened?

f.        Why do you think that this memory sticks in your mind so much? 

(These questions are from  Miss Boughey of Weatherhead School )

• Select three events of international importance that occurred during your lifetime. Create three new web pages to describe these events. As well as describing the event carefully and choosing a picture to illustrate it, you should also explain why you think the event was so important. 

• In total your website should have at least 5 pages. As a final touch add a photograph of yourself as a thumbnail image on your homepage.
