Choice 3: Illustrated Timeline

Create an Illustrated Timeline. Identify the 10 most important events and the 10 most crucial to the outcome of the novel. Include an illustration for each event. 

Begin by brainstorming a list of the most important events and narrow it down to the 10 most important events.

Each event must include the following:

  • An illustration (may be hand-drawn, from the internet or from a magazine)
  • A title (ex. Johnny Escapes)
  • 3-5 points about the event including
      • Who was involved?
      • When did the event happen? (Make sure that they are in order on your timeline)
      • Where did the event happen?
      • What happened?
      • Why did it happen?

Once you've created and illustrated your timeline, pick the 5 most important events and rank them from 1 to 5. For each event write a paragraph that explains the following:

      • Why you ranked the event the way that you did
      • The impact that event had on the outcome of the novel
      • The significance or importance of the event on the characters or the outcome of the novel
      • Any other important ideas you may have
