Reading Timelines
One of the best ways to keep track of events is using a timeline. A timeline
is a diagram showing when events took place in a given time. Words and dates
tell what happened and when. The spaces between descriptions reflect the time
between events.
You will notice the letters B.C. and A.D. as you survey the timeline. "B.C."
stands for "before Christ" or before the birth of Jesus Christ (about 2,000 years
ago). "A.D." stands for "Anno Domini" – Latin for "in the year of our Lord" – and
pertains to the years since the birth of Jesus Christ.
To read and understand B.C. dates, just remember: the higher the number,
the earlier the period is in history. To read and understand A.D. dates, just keep in
mind: the higher an A.D. number is, the later that time is in history.
You will also find that certain dates on the timeline have the letter c.
before them. The lowercase c. stands for circa, meaning “about” or “around”.
Offline Activities When historians are not sure exactly when an event happened, they use the term
“circa”.
(e-Learning/Self-
Paced) Philippine history is composed of numerous events that happened from
prehistory to the present. Review the timeline of Philippine history below as per
Wikipedia. Read the event and each entry. Examine the spaces that separates
events.

Engaging Activity
Activity: Create a Philippine History Photocollage
Select pictures from books, newsletters, photocopies, and digital prints to
create a Philippine History photocollage from prehistory (pre–900), pre-colonial
period (900–1565), colonial period (1565–1946), post-colonial period (1946–
1986), and contemporary history (1986–present). You're going to change these
pictures, so make sure they are stuff that you feel comfortable using in new ways.
Using scissors and glue, put the objects on a one-fourth illustration board to make
your own collage. Write a journal entry to explain the significance of the objects
or images you have chosen and its relation to Philippine History. What’s
happening on your photocollage? What kind of connections can you draw
between them? Do the juxtapositions of objects in your collage seem to indicate a
plot or to tell a story? Be sure to present your output to the class.
