The timeline is
difficult to read.

The student had not

prepared adequate
notes before
beginning to design
the timeline.
Facts were often
inaccurate for events
reported on the
timeline.

The timeline
contained fewer than
5 events.

The student cannot

use the timeline
effectively to describe
events nor to
compare events.
There were many
spelling and
capitalization errors.
