  1. Creating Timelines

  2. A Timeline Tells a Story…

  3. Good Timelines…. • Are sequential (years and events are labeled in correct order!) • Are easy to read (neat) because they were PLANNED, drafted, and THEN published! • Represent periods of time in a PROPORTIONALLY accurate way • Make effective use of colorwithout overdoing it • Use blank s p a c e to keep things easy to read: space on borders, space between labels… not… all CRAMMEDtogetherandIMPOSSIBLEtoread!

  4. B.C. & A.D.

  5. B.C. or B.C.E. stands for…. • B.C. stands for Before Christ • B.C.E. stands for Before Common Era • Both B.C. and B.C.E. refer to the SAME time period.

  6. A.D. or C.E. stands for…. • A.D. is an abbreviation for the Latin term anno Domini (an no dome in e), which means “In the year of our Lord." • Sometimes you may hear it called After Deatheven though this is incorrect. • C.E. stands for Common Era. • Both A.D. and C.E. refer to the SAME time period

  7. Talking Time Periods Today • Today with a growing understanding that not all archaeologists and historians are Christians, some prefer to use the terms: Before the Common Era (B.C.E.) and the Common Era (C.E.), which are exactly the same as B.C. and A.D. but without referencing Christianity.

  8. Which came first B.C. or A.D • B.C. is the older time period meaning it came before A.D. • The year 0 is supposed to be when Jesus Christ was born. (even though many historians now believe he was born about 4 B.C. LOL!!!!!) • The year 0 is the transition point between B.C. and A.D.

  9. Using B.C. Dates • When working with B.C. time the numbers become smaller as you approach the present day. For example, 99 BC, 98 BC, 97BC, 96 BC, 95BC…...50BC

  10. Using A.D. Dates • When working with A.D. time the numbers become bigger as you approach the present day. For example, 2007 AD, 2008 AD, 2009 AD, 2010 AD….. • 2013 AD is the year we are in right now!
