Gillette AP Euro - Review

Timeline Project: Period 3 (1815-1914 ) For each of the four eras we study in class, you will be creating a timeline of 20 important items. These will be invaluable tools for studying for the AP Euro exam – so be sure to not throw them out once you’ve completed them. I would recommend using Google Docs so you can continuously add to your timeline and share your results with me. I have also uploaded a Google Doc template to my website which you can use as a guide. An ‘item’ could be a significant event, person, place, moment, piece of art, publication, treaty etc. For each item, you will need to provide the following:

Date or date range when the item took place Where the item took place What happened AND the Thematic Learning Objective (TLO) code to

which the event belongs (Please see chart below). The significance of the item. This section is important so be sure to

include quality information here. It must be in your own words. Please use a four-column format (see my Google template) Use your Era Study Guides to find the most important items to include –

don’t just pick items of minor importance. I will also suggest ones below – but ultimately you pick your own 20.

Complete sentences NOT required! Feel free to use arrows, dashes, semicolons, etc. You just need to show cause and, most importantly, effect. Consider what is most effective for your studying
