Once you have selected three inventions, you will compose a timeline entry that includes:
- A date range and title.
- A thorough description, with MLA citations, that provides the history, impact, and context for this item. This should be between 300 and 500 words.
- An image, video, or map that best represents this item. You must have citation information for each item, and they all must be free to use or share.
Here is our spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1C4GPoW7NjVvPy-WZo5pAOmBA_PBQCFN__Z7UapBdVXc/edit?usp=sharing
Note: Don’t change the column headers, don’t remove any columns, and don’t leave any blank rows in your spreadsheet.

This is worth 30 points = 20% of your grade.
You will post extended drafts (between 500 and 700 words), with media, for each entry by 2/23 on our course site. Use tag “timeline” and category “blog.” You will present your entries on 2/28.
