Use the links below to find at least 10 events from the 1930s. Create your timeline on a poster using
the following questions and guidelines.
1. Arrange the events in chronological order.
2. What happened when? Hypothesize whether one event could have influenced another.
3. Differentiate between social and political events by using two different text colors.
4. Describe each event with a minimum of three sentences.
5. Label each event with a date. (Preferably with the month and year)
Once you have selected events and put them onto the timeline on your poster, you may do one or
more of the following: (directly underneath an identified event)
1. Crete an illustration or include an image that represents the event.
2. Collect textual evidence from TKAM that suggests a character or any event in the novel was
influenced by this particular event.
