Once you have viewed the research prompts you will need to dot point down your findings, including the development of the empire and environmental changes. Order each finding in relation to the time it occurred. E.g. the events that built the foundations of the empire would occur at the beginning, and the events that occurred during the falling of the empire would be placed somewhere towards the end of the timeline.

You can refer to following dot points to jump start your thinking patterns:

  • What was the date, month, and year this event occurred?
  • What caused this event?
  • Were there any significant changed following this event or consequences which then lead to other further events occurring? If so, what were they?
  • Break the timeline and events into categories such as, pre-empire, forming of empire, empire formed, falling of empire, past empire.

Visualise your research as a timeline, including images.
