As I write, we are in the classroom at Riverpoint in Spokane, focusing on two features of the class: blog and timeline posts. This post will summarize our deliberations on what makes a good timeline post.
1. Find the historical events to include in our group timeline:
-- Begin with the timeline on HistoryLink.org.
-- Select from HistoryLink the episodes that seem most important.
-- Also identify some events not included in the HistoryLink timeline.
-- Write a "nomination" for each of those episodes. (See nomination info below.)
-- Post the nomination in our group timeline.
2. Criterial for a good timeline event nomination:
-- Title for the Event
-- Brief Description
-- Rationale (why it matters)
-- Two or More Related Documents: One should be from HistoryLink if it is mentioned there. The other should also be "authoritative" -- a journal, for example, or a scholarly article.
