Introduction
In this WebQuest, you will learn about the Belgian Congo, The Congo Free State and the forming of the Republic of Zaire. You will also learn how to make an interactive timeline.
Task
In this WebQuest, you will use an online site called Time Graphics to create an interactive online timeline that chronicles important dates and events in the history of the Republic of Zaire, today known as the Republic of Congo.
Process
You can find the two resources necessary to complete this project here.
https://time.graphics/updates/new & http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-13286306
In addition to these sources and materials, you should find at least two (2) events from other sources that are not Wikipedia.
Your timeline should begin in 1870 and end in 1999. You should have at least ten (10) events on your timeline.
Conclusion
Using a timeline is a great way to show change over time and consolidate the most important events in a nation or event's history.
