How do you show dates on a timeline? Essential Question? How do you show dates on a timeline?

B.C. or B.C.E. stands for…. B.C. stands for Before Christ B.C.E. stands for Before Common Era Both B.C. and B.C.E. refer to the SAME time period.

A.D. or C.E. stands for…. A.D. is an abbreviation for the Latin term anno Domini (an no dome in e), which means “In the year of our Lord." Sometimes you may hear it called After Death even though this is incorrect. C.E. stands for Common Era. Both A.D. and C.E. refer to the SAME time period

Talking Time Periods Today Today with a growing understanding that not all archaeologists and historians are Christians, some prefer to use the terms: Before the Common Era (B.C.E.) and the Common Era (C.E.), which are exactly the same as B.C. and A.D. but without referencing Christianity.

Which came first B.C. or A.D B.C. is the older time period meaning it came before A.D. The year 0 is supposed to be when Jesus Christ was born.

Using B.C. Dates When working with B.C. time the numbers become smaller as you approach the present day. For example, 99 BC, 98 BC, 97 BC, 96 BC, 95 BC…...50BC

Using A.D. Dates When working with A.D. time the numbers become bigger as you approach the present day. For example, 2007 , 2008 , 2009 , 2010 ….. AD 2018 is the year we are in right now!

What if there is no label? A historian, book, teacher, etc. will ALWAYS put a label of BC (BCE) if it happened before Jesus was born. If there is no label, then the date is ALWAYS an AD (CE) date, no exceptions. For example, the year is 2018 AD (CE), but we don’t write the date with AD or CE do we?

Fun Facts If you see the letter “C” on a timeline before a date, it means around this time. A century (100 years) is found by taking the first two numbers in a date. 2017 would be 20. Then you add a 1. 20 + 1= 21st Century.
