Go over worksheet. • Content Standard: 7 – H1.1.2 Compare and contrast several different calendar systems used in the past and present and their cultural significance

  2. Reading a Timeline: Revisited

  3. What is a timeline? • A timeline tells a story of what has happened. • It displays things in chronological order (in order of events as they have happened.

  4. Timelines have two sides • The Left Side: • BCE-Before the Common Era • BC-Before Christ • This is because the calendar used in the United States is a Christian calendar. • The Right Side: • CE-Common Era • AD-”In the year of our lord”

  5. Think of timelines like a… • Number line. • A number line is a line with positive numbers on one side and negative numbers on the other. • On the negative side of a number line, the numbers count down to 0. • On the positive side of a number line, the numbers count up from 0.

  6. Timelines do the same. • Think of BCE as the negative side and CE as the positive. • Remember to look for the “B” in figuring out if you add or subtract. • One “B” means add. • Two “B’s” mean you are on the same side. • Subtract when you see two of the same abbreviations. • Not to confuse you, but there is no year “0.”

  7. How to tell the distance: • If time goes from BCE to CE, you must add that time together to see how long ago it was. • For example, if something happened in 500 BCE, it really happened 2514 years ago because we live in the common era today. 1 CE 500 BCE 2014

  8. How to tell the distance cont’d: • If something happens on the same side of the timeline (meaning it does not cross year 1), then you simply subtract it. • If something happened in 500 CE, it happened 1514 years ago. 500 CE 2014 1CE
