PORTFOLIO ASSESSMENT
You'll create a portfolio to demonstrate your best work and understanding for each unit. Portfolio is an alternative means to assessing what you have learned: it is student-directed and includes reflection about your learning process (as opposed to traditional assessment: tests, quizzes, etc.). Here you have more choice and the opportunity to personalize the significance of the content you encountered.

TIMELINE OVERVIEW
This is a year-long project that you'll use to capture and organize key events from each unit. You'll use it to tell some of the key stories of modern history, place people and events chronologically, and understand how events from different parts of the world overlap and relate to each other.
SETUP
CREATE TIMELINE ON SUTORI: This online timeline maker is very easy to use, and easy to read. Here's a sample I created (yours would include dates). Click here to create your free account. SHARE IT: After you have created a document, please share the project link: click the "share" button in your timeline, then, in the new window, click share again, and copy the URL. Paste it in this Google Form.
EMBED Timeline in your portfolio::
EMBED Timeline in your portfolio::
- Open Sutori and click "Share" (bottom right).
- Click "Embed" and copy the code.
- Open your portfolio (Google site). Select Pages from the menu and add a new one for your timeline (if you have not done that yet).
- Go to "Insert" on and select "Embed." Then select "Embed Code" and paste the code.
- Give it a moment to load. Then, drag the box all the way across to the right so it fills your timeline window.
- Go to the Preview Icon (above) and see how it looks. It may take a moment to load.
assignment
For each item, include:
- Dates, key vocabulary, people, places, and events in your stories. Much of your grade will be based upon degree of detail, and your ability to connect each story on the timeline to a larger narrative--why was this event significant? What part of the story does it tell?
- Be sure each item includes the unit name in parentheses. For example: "Vendee Uprising (French Revolution)
- You only need to use your notes and class materials to write the stories of each item. This is not a research project--do not look up information. See the Rubric for grading.

older, alternate timeline:
TIKI TOKI: Create a Tiki Toki account (Do not add a class code). Click Admin menu (top right), select "Stories" then "+ Create New Story." Give each "story" a title (using events from list below). If it is for an event at one moment in time, use the same start and end date; for a span of time like World War II, use the start and end dates. I suggest you make all events January 1 with the appropriate year--the year is what we are concerned with (not required to know day and month). In the "Intro" box, add the story of the event. Here's a sample I created.
SHARE IT: After you have created a document, please share the project link. Simply copy the URL and paste it next to your name in Timeline Sharing document.
