Timeline

American History Portfolio Timeline Template Mr. Sontheimer American History II  American history during the 20th century has evolved with immense speed and been marked by rapid change. When the new century arrived most people lived on farms and had more in common with the ways that colonial Americans lived than with the way we live now. Changes in technology, population, and society created the nation we live in today. In order to effectively and efficiently examine the rapidly emerging history of the 20th century we are going to construct individual wiki-timelines using the topics that we research throughout the year. For every unit we study you will be required to update your individual wiki timeline with the information and materials that we gathered together.  THIS PROJECT WILL LAST THE ENTIRE SEMESTER. FAILURES TO COMPLETE THIS TIMELINE WILL SEVERLY LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO PASS.  Select all the text below and copy it. Paste it on a new page in your wikispace that you should label “Timeline Portfolio.” Once this page is created you can begin to transfer items from topics pages and put them in your timeline.  ___COPY BELOW THIS LINE__  Technology Then and Now //Rule to remember- While humans may shape technology, technology has the ability to change humanity //!
