Please read the instruction carefully you only have to do one time frame which is: On Separate Paths (1191 C.E. – 1868 C.E.) but everything’s else follow. At the bottom of the instructions there is an example of a time line entry.
This assignment involves the creation of a digital file with four images, four captions, and four diary entries. Each set (including one image, one caption, and one diary entry) is worth 5 percent of the total course grade. The four sets will be completed over four weeks’ time, and posted weekly to a timeline conference. At the due date, all four sets should be submitted for grading in a single digital file, posted to the Assignments folder.
Your instructor will set up a timeline conference visible to all students. Access to this conference will be read/respond, which means you will post material under four of the seven links that have been created by your instructor. You will not add new topics. The subject lines of the seven links will be labeled according to the following phases:
Ancient Civilizations of Asia (2700 BCE-1045 BCE)
Diversifying the Ancient Rituals (1045 BCE-599 BCE)
The “Axial Age” of Ethics (599 BCE-195 BCE)
Silk Road Adventures (195 BCE-520 CE)
Cross-Fertilized Thoughts (520 C-1191 CE)
On Separate Paths (1191 CE-1868 CE)
Coming to Terms (1868 CE-present)
You will choose four of the seven phases, and create a timeline entry for each of those four. In the timeline conference, type into the subject line of your posting the name of your chosen person or cultural artifact, the phase number, and the date range. For example, the subject line of a posting on Buddha for the third link would be: “Phase 3 – Buddha: 599 BCE-195 BCE.” Each of your four timeline postings should include a properly cited image and a caption, which will be graded as they are posted.
One image with citation per each of your four chosen phases. The image should be a portrait of a person who is identified with that historical phase. The person can be either a historical figure, a character from religious scripture or myth who is identified with that time period, or even a religious artifact. Provide a full citation of the source from which your image comes. (The citation for your image can be typed into the area for Alternative Text, located immediately below the area in which you type the URL.)
One caption per each of your four chosen phases. A caption of 50 to 75 words should do three things: (1) clearly label the image; (2) identify to which religious tradition the person belongs; (3) explain the importance of the person to his or her historical phase; and (4) point out something about the image that seems particularly interesting.
One diary entry for four of the seven phases. This is a one- to two-page (200- to 300-word) discussion written from the point of view of the person (or place, or ritual object) whose image is in the timeline. Think of the person talking about himself or herself. Let that person make reference to: (1) his or her geographical, cultural, or historical context; and (2) some religious idea, practice, or situation with which he or she is associated. Be creative, and make use of scriptures and other texts to help you capture the flavor of the person’s thought and experience, including reference to matters such as concerns, problems, likes and dislikes, and so forth. Provide full bibliographical citations for all materials quoted or referenced. These diary entries should be written in the first person (using “I,” “me,” “we,” and so forth). They should sound personal, and not like repetitions of an encyclopedia entry.
Note: Complement your fellow students’ contributions by posting on traditions that are still missing from the timeline. You can “claim” a particular person and tradition in advance by starting a link and writing the name of the person you want to cover under the phase. In the subject line, write the phase number, the date range, the name of the person you are claiming, and the words “reserved by (your name here).” This will reserve that figure for you, and another person will not duplicate it.
