CLASSIFICATION CHARTS & TIME LINES

1. CLASSIFICATION CHARTS
Classification is the process in which ideas and objects are recognized, differentiated, and
understood, and classification charts are intended to help create and eventually visualized
the outcome.
Classification chart or classification tree is a synopsis of the classification scheme,
designed to illustrate the structure of any particular field.
Classification charts are useful for organizing information that explains how two or more
persons, places, or things are alike or different in two or more ways. The chart below
provides some information about calories burned in the several activities. The
information is summarized under headings that explain the two ways in which the stages
differ from one another " Calories" and "Exercises".
TIME LINES
Definition ( Định nghĩa) of Timelines
The definition for timelines is as follows:
A timeline is the presentation of a chronological sequence of related events along a drawn
line that enables the reader to quickly understand relationships relating to, or limited by,
time.
The line is usually drawn from left to right, or top to bottom
First create a timeline template. Instructions to create a Timeline template:
Establish total Time span - What is the start date? What is the end date? Establish the
length of time required
Determine the style required i.e. horizontal or vertical timeline
Enter significant dates on the timeline
Provide facts and information of people or events which occurred on the specified date
The dates must be entered sequentially although it is often reasonable to have long gaps
between dates e.g. a timeline date can start at say 1950 and then jump to the next
important period which might be 1965
Text should be clear and concise
Facts and information relating to dates should be easily located
A Timeline should provide facts and information at a glance.
