Annotated Timeline and Evaluative Annotated Bibliography Assignment Throughout this course, you will be creating an annotated timeline and an evaluative
annotated bibliography that will be due in Topic 8. You will be proceeding through the following steps to complete the assignment.1.Choose a region of the
world that you will focus on for this assignment. Please convey that information to your instructor during the first week of class via the supplemental
discussion question in Topic 1.2.Create an annotated timeline of significant events related to the main topic of each week of the course.3.For each topic in
the course, add to your timeline a minimum of five significant historical events related to that topic. Add a brief synopsis of the main details and significance
of the events. Three of the five events you choose should be from the region you chose to focus on in step one. 4.It is imperative that as your timeline
expands, you differentiate which course topic the various events relate to. This will help you immensely when completing the final timeline presentation due
in Topic 8. Using different colored fonts for different topics is one helpful method. A simple topic number annotation after the event would also work. Find a
method that work for you. 5.Each week, choose one event on your timeline and prepare an evaluative annotated bibliography containing 5-10 sources that
expand your knowledge of your chosen event. Sources should be a mix of primary and secondary academic sources. Please see the document “Preparing
Annotated Bibliographies” from the GCU Writing Center for further assistance in preparing the evaluative annotated bibliography. http://gcumedia.com/lmsresources/student-success-center/docs/Preparing-Annotated-Bibliographies.pdf. You will turn in your completed set of evaluative annotated bibliographies
in Topic 8. 6.You can use information from the weekly readings and assignments to help you with constructing your timeline and evaluative annotated
bibliography. 7.In Topics 2, 5, and 7, you are required to post a working draft of your timeline in a collaborative learning community (CLC) forum for feedback
and constructive criticism from your peers. The draft timelines should be in a Word document or other compatible format. You do not need to post your
evaluative annotated bibliography to the CLC forum. Further instructions regarding this requirement will be posted in Topics 2, 5, and 7.8.In Topic 8, you will
be turning in a PowerPoint presentation of your timeline. The final timeline presentation should be organized by the eight main topics of the course. You will
also be turning in the final evaluative annotated bibliography that you complied throughout the course. 9.Both the annotated timeline assignment and the
evaluative annotated bibliography assignment will use scoring guides. Please review the scoring guides prior to beginning the assignment to become
familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
10.APA format is required for essays only. Solid academic writing is always expected. For all assignment delivery options, documentation of sources should
be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
