Here’s an Easy Way to Write the Timeline for Your History Essay

The biggest problem when writing the history essay is to write the events in a chronological order.

Knock Knock

Who’s there? 

History

Who’s Story?

His-story

 

Maybe this isn’t funny, but history essay writing is one thing that students are scared of the most. It is not only the facts and names that make this task tough but remembering the chronological order too creates a fuss. This is not very easy for the students, and writing the same in their essay takes a lot of time. 

 

Without taking a lot of your time, let’s move ahead on how to mention the timeline in your work. 

 

Before Starting Know the Events!

Research well for your history essay. When you are gathering information for the same, side by side note the events with date. This would help you in two ways. One you won’t have to list the events again, second there would be no risk of missing any of the events. Cool!

A point-wise line where you talk about the events would help you with the essay writing. 

 

Create a Structured Skeleton!

When you start writing the essay on history topics, just make sure there are no loopholes in the work. To ensure that you miss no critical point, just be ready with an outline. 

This outline would act as a guide to writing a perfect history essay that would get you an A+. 

 

When working on the outline take care of the following points, 

Choose start and endpoint

Structure to reflect events

Decide the time frame 

Include all essential dates

 

Woah...Creating an outline is the toughest part of the work. 

 

Filling Up the Timeline 

Now that you are free to work on your history essay, just fill it up with some information that is interesting and has no flaws. You must fill up the work with a lot of interesting information and some relevant images that can add to the impact of the work. 

 

When you are writing the information, you mustn't miss anything. 

 

Title your timeline too

Add the details of the work 

Write in a comprehensive manner

Include some interesting elements

 

So, now you have filled the work with the information. Now that you are done with the work let us move forward and see some tips that can help you through the task. 

 

Bonus Tips!!!

Want to add or change the event or the position? Simple, write it on the alternate sides of the work. 

Write in small fonts.

Cite sources in the right way. 

Plan the work perfectly. 

Do not miss to recheck the events. 

 

Winding It Up!!!

You mustn't play a lot with the dates. When you are done with the writing task, just proofread the complete work. It is challenging to write an essay on history, but yes, with a little creativity, things can be made quite easy.

Thank you very much for the advice you provided in your article. Sometimes it can be very difficult for me to find good arguments for my essay. I do not like to write text only for the sake of text and I always want to make it rich in constructive thoughts. In historical essays, this is sometimes very difficult to do.
