Timeline Project
Your timeline project is an opportunity for you to present what you’ve learned about British Literature and history throughout the time periods covered in our class. You must choose a track: Genre, History, Religion. Then you must create a project that covers this track from medieval through pre-Victorian Britain
This is a creative project! It may take many forms, depending on your interests and skills you might create a visually appealing timeline with a Prezi, you might write a song or parody and record a video, you might write a comedy routine. The possibilities are endless!

Begin to identify important events, shifts, inventions, people, etc. that existed during our time-period (around 1000 ad-1789) and radically impacted your chosen path.
