Good day! As you remember, in Module 4 we listened to Sara Rossi talking about her lifeline. There is a number of online tools with the help of which you can create an interactive timeline, enlivening it with photos, music and videos. Here is an example of a timeline which I created based on Sara's lifeline in the textbook.
Your task is to create a lifeline like Sara's for yourself and publish it on the blog. Go to www.dipity.com and create a free account by clicking 'Join Dipity' button at the top. When you are finished, click 'Create a Timeline', choose a title for your timeline and write a short description. After that add events to your timeline, typing in titles, dates and descriptions. You can upload a picture from your computer to represent each event. When the timeline is ready, get the 'embed code' and insert it into your blog post. Voila, here is your lifeline! Don't forget to add an essay describing your timeline.
Instead of using Dipity you can opt for any timeline creating tool, for example:
myhistro.com, which allows you to combine timelines and maps, so that places you mention (birthplace, journey destinations, etc. can be traced via Google Maps)
timetoast.com
timerime.com (enables you to have more than one type of media for each event)
Waiting to see your works!
