Introduction ➡ Directions: Complete the steps below, then answer the questions referring to your timeline. Step 1: On the timeline below, place five major events that have happened in your life in chronological order. Categorize Step 2: After your teacher has demonstrated it, break your timeline up into three periods of time. Label each time period (also known as era or age) with a name that describes what the events during that time have in common. For example you might label something as “Childhood” or “Living in Atlanta.” The Timeline of My Life Identify Patterns 1. How did you determine which events to group together into a time 2.

Periodization-the process or study of dividing the past into periods of time and Categorize naming them Sometimes when historians engage in periodization, the ways they divide up the time and the labels they give them has an effect on the way people think about that era and what happened during it. Identify Patterns ➡ Directions: Read the following names of time periods and then draw an image that represents them and explain what you think these eras were like. “Best Years of My Life” “The Dark Ages” “The Golden Age of Greece” Image: Image: Image What do you think it was like during the “best What do you think it was like during “The Dark What do you think it was like during “The Golden years of my life”?
