Christianity Timeline Activity
This activity aligns with Learning Outcomes 1 and 5.
Instructions
Based on your assigned Learning Unit reading, arrange the given historical events in chronological order (beginning with the earliest). To be successful on the Timeline Activity:
- First, take your time. You have sixty minutes so that should be more than enough time to complete the items that you are presented with each week.
- Second, do not assume that because an event is referenced earlier in the Learning Unit that it is therefore an earlier event in history. Here is where you will need to examine closely the Learning Unit content to ascertain when the event falls in time.
- The best way to attack this assessment, therefore, is to first find a date for each individual event and then try to order the events chronologically.
- As a strong hint, you will find that some events recur in upcoming timelines, so it is strongly recommended to keep a log of when events occur so you will be prepared when you see them again.
You will have 60 minutes and three attempts to complete this assessment. The highest grade will be recorded.
Grading
The assessment is worth 10 points toward your final grade. (1)
