Q ANNOTATED TIMELINE ASSIGNMENT: The Annotated Timeline is a cumulative assignment—students will work on it throughout the entire course. Students will select a course theme that interests them (foreign policy, race, gender, politics, social movements, etc.). Each week, students will select events they believe best relate to that theme from lecture, readings and/or other class material (including documentaries). By the end of class, students will have ten (10) events selected that illuminate how they would temporalize their selected theme. The Annotated Timeline should be prepared as follows: 1. The selected theme must be clearly written in the title of the Annotated Timeline; 2. Each event should include a paragraph explaining what the event is, how it relates to the selected theme and why it is important. Students must cite the readings; 3. The events should be chronological and include dates or date ranges (i.e. the Soviet Union detonates its first atomic bomb, 1949; the War on Terror, 2001-present); 4. Other requirements: 12-point font (Garamond or Times New Roman), pages numbered, 1” margins, edited, space between events, properly cited. 5. Optional: students may include images that represent the selected events.
