How we keep time


Notes from last Class A.D.-is Latin and literally translates into "year lord" meaning year of the lord or in his domain. It denotes years since the birth of Jesus Christ
B.C.-is used to mean years before the birth of Jesus Christ
C.E.-means common era and is sometimes used instead of A.D.
B.C.E means Before Common Era and is sometimes used instead of B.C.
B.P. is sometimes used for things that happened long, long ago, like dinosaurs. It means Before Present.
No year Zero in history 1-100 is the 1st Century 101-200 is the 2nd Century 2017 is the 21 Century 1919 is in the 19 hundreds 476 is in the 4 hundreds.

You are ready to do the assignment below when you can explain to the teacher what makes him cringe about this song

 Time Line
Using photoshop, or the other programs shown by the teacher, or doing it by hand, create a timeline. Be sure to include graphics and have the timeline easily readable. HINT, HINT, Do a rough copy first if doing it by hand!!!!
-Have two starting points, which would be two 1s. Remember, there are no 0 years on a timeline.
-Have at least 3 dates from before you were born
-Have at least 3 dates after you were born
-Have at least 10 dates
-Have at least 4 dates that have no personal connection to you

The dates must all be referenced by when you were born. The math for this would be (Year of event)-(year you were born)+1  So Something that happened the year before you were born or the year after you were born would be year 2.
