Reading Timelines
One of the best ways to keep track of events is by 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, remember: the higher the number, the earlier the
period is in history. To read and understand A.D. dates, 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". When historians are not
sure exactly when an event happened, they use the term "circa".

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.
