Answered by Demarauis
So should this be an actual timeline or paper? If this was math or anything biblical I would be okay, but History is not my greatest subject. Do you have an example?

Your instructions say <b>Create a timeline . . .</b>

What is a descriptive analysis?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Is a descriptive analysis part of this assignment?

A descriptive analysis is to describe an event analytically.

Answered by Demarauis
yes it is
Answered by Ms. Sue
It sounds like you need an analytic descriptive paragraph or more for each event on your timeline.

Check with your teacher for further clarification.
