Number these pages 1 and 2 (bottom right corner)
Use your creativity to develop pages you can be proud of. It can be in mixed media, which means you can use crayons, picture cut-outs, and construction paper in combination to create these pages that reflect your interests. Or maybe you are a computer graphics artist and want to include your own hand drawings as well. just be sure you have the required content listed next.

23. Author’s Historical Pages
These pages are for you to display the history of  yourself: make  a timeline of your life to date and include important events in  this timeline.  Add the lyrics of a favorite song that describes yourself.  Or you may add pictures of yourself at different  ages to show your development.  Be creative and make it yours. In the bottom right corners number these pages 1 and 2.  

24. Identify aspects of yourself as a person or as a student and place on these pages. If you are a skateboarding expert, use the skateboard as a symbol for yourself. If you play the violin, use the violin as a symbol for yourself and include it in your cover design. These symbols can be your favorite things, a hobby, or something special about you.

Leave blank because you will:
Thumb through your textbook to identify two (2) major periods, ideas, or events in World History in which you are interested.
