Let's wrap up with a checkpoint piece!
This lesson has been about describing historical events at different time scales.
Choose a subject: For our checkpoint piece, you need to choose a historical event, real or imagined. We suggest writing about events related to communicating with a new intelligence—e.g. whales, AI, or aliens.
Choose a time scale: Years/decades, weeks/months, or hours/days.
Give it a title: Give the piece a title that explains who the subject is and what time scale you'll be taking.
You can make up the details but try to make it sound like you're a real historian.
Make sure you cover when, where, what, and so what. They can be in any order!
