Sinfonietta Timeline Assignment

Each of you has chosen a time period. If you forgot your time frame, check with Ms S. This assignment is due Period 7 on Thursday June 9 and is worth 20 points. You will complete your time line for full credit with the following parameters:

Write in pen, neatly
-Spell all words correctly
-Find at least 5 entries for each timeline
-On the front, just list the date and the event title
-On the back, list more detail about each date and event

You may:
-Add pictures or drawings, as long as it doesn't take away from the timeline
-Use different colors
-Research off the internet and library - you do not need to cite your sources for this assignment
-Work with a friend to complete the assignment (but each of you turns in *your* own time period)
-Complete the back side either chronologically or as a title section with bullet points (see example below)

You may not:
-Do this assignment in pencil
-Leave one of the timeline blank or barely filled out (unless there's an obvious reason why)
-Not give more detail on back

Example of what you'd write on front:

On the time line:

Mozart's Magic Flute
---------------------------------------------------------------
1791

On the back:

Music History
- 1791: September 30, Mozart's Opera the Magic Flute was premiered. Mozart conducted the opera himself

We will have a *little* bit of library time for this next Tuesday, but the computers are *not* available. You'll need to do computer research at home, at the library, or on the computer in the orchestra room. At the library you can use reference materials and history books.

Good luck and have fun lining up music history with other historical events!
