3) Poetry reflective of the time
4) A primary source link
5) A secondary source link
6) Music reflective of the time
You may find each of these six items on one part of your timeline or you may separate them out. You must have one of each included. You may include pictures on the timeline, or simply provide hyperlinks.
You must have at least 15 events on the top and 15 on the bottom. Your timeline should be visually appealing and be able to be read easily. You should cite at least 6 sources. Be sure to include at least one event on the top and on the bottom from each of the following periods: early human inhabitants, European exploration and colonization, first Spanish Period, British Florida, Second Spanish Period, Territorial Period, Statehood, and Civil War & Reconstruction.
