A timeline is a graphic organizer that displays events sequentially over a period of time. It shows specific events in chronological order, usually with dates. There are horizontal, vertical, and circular types of timelines. Timelines are useful for studying history by visually showing major events over time. An example timeline shows the evolution of cell phones from 1982 to 2007 arranged by year.
