| An example of a brief, hand drawn timeline. |
A timeline is a visual representation of showing particular dates over a period of time. They can be drawn by hand or a computer may be used. Pictures and graphics can also be included!
In short: a timeline is a list of events in the order that they happened.
I should point out that how you create your timeline is up to you. It can be hand-drawn or you may use a computer. The important thing is that it is easy to read, lists important events, and is eye-catching (even a little creative, perhaps add some pictures too?)
An excellent guide to creating a timeline is here.
Using Microsoft word? Here is a quick guide showing you how to do it.
If PowerPoint is more your thing, take a look at this - a good way to create a timeline if you are using a computer.
