Each person has 6/7 years to make a timeline about their individual researched subject.
We have decided to do this by hand on lined paper with drawn arrows [of different styles] going down the left hand side of the page along with the year. the information from each year is to be written to the right of the arrow and any images can be added down the right hand side of at the bottom.
This design allows for individuality and originality!!! so mark should luv it! :D
