TIME HARBOR: When we study History, time is one of the most important items that we have to take into account. The Modern Age is a historical period between the 15th and the 18th century, but why the historians made that division? Important events point the begining and the end of the historical periods, in this case, the siege of Constantinople or the Discovery of America were so important that, from these points the whole World's History changed forever. Now we will learn how to make a timeline with Tiki toki. we will use this tool to study the 3 units about the Modern Age, adding the different dates and events in order to have a complete timeline when we finish. Remeber that this activity is in group but that you have to create your own timeline.

• The first event in our timeline will be the siege of Constantinople, do you remember when did it took place?
• Which should be the last date and event?

Don't forget to take notes of everything into your notebook. Here you have a tutorial to learn how to use the tool: https://youtu.be/1UgiEhJ1xBE
