16. Teacher Comments You are missing several of the requirements for this project. Go back to the assignment sheet and look at the different events that must be covered in the timeline. You are missing several. You also did not answer the 5 W’s in many of the slides nor tell me what the historical impact of many of the events were. The pictures being behind the text do not neccesarily put you in the not passing category, but it is VERY distracting and makes reading the slides close to impossible in some cases. Please revise this and turn it in again for credit.
