    • Provides a summary of events or planned activities.

    Timeline Components

    • Title: Indicates the focus of the timeline (e.g., "Megan's Beach Vacation").
    • Time Periods: Divides the timeline into units of time (days, months, years, decades, centuries).
    • Events: Specific data points (activities, occurrences). Location along the timeline indicates the time of the event.
    • Labels: Mark specific times (days, hours etc). Intervals between events are not always marked on timelines.
    • Example: A timeline detailing a beach vacation might have events like "Drive to Beach" happening at 10 am on Sunday.
