So you&#8217;re going to be making a timeline of your war, using that angle as your lens. For some of you, thinking about your topic linearly or temporally will be easy (if you&#8217;re focusing on a battle or a person or something like that). For some of you, it will be more challenging, if you&#8217;re thinking more thematically. But it&#8217;s still possible&#8211;and thinking temporally about a theme may be elucidating for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re going to be using a tool called TimelineJS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Select some important events about your war that you think could go into a timeline of the war (considering your chosen angle), and write them down. You can focus on any part of the war; you just need to be able to justify your choices\u2013and&nbsp;<strong>I do NOT want a comprehensive timeline of the entire war<\/strong>. I should be able to tell what your angle is by looking at the events you&#8217;ve chosen.<ul><li>Use the sources you\u2019ve found and put into Zotero and Tropy to help you figure what\u2019s important, or do some more research-\u2013if you do more research, it is a good idea to put that research into Zotero as well!<\/li><li>Make sure you write down lots of details about your events, including who\u2019s involved, when it was, why it\u2019s important (and make sure you\u2019re keeping track of how you know these things; citing your sources is important!).<\/li><li>You need no fewer than 5 and no more than 15 events.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Using&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/timeline.knightlab.com\/\">TimelineJS<\/a>,&nbsp;<strong>build a timeline<\/strong>&nbsp;of some portion of your war.<\/li><li><strong>Publish your timeline<\/strong> to your blog along with a paragraph explaining why you made the choices you did.<\/li><li>Watch this screencast to find out how I want you to build your timeline. (Yes, I know this is Small Project #4, not #5; in previous semesters I made you do a whole extra project before this, so you should be grateful.&nbsp;\ud83d\ude42&nbsp;)<ul><li>Remember that you can pause this recording in order to do the things it says, and then resume!<\/li><li>Follow the steps in this video very closely.
