8) create a lime going horizontally across the width of the paper under the title
9) create a line going vertically across the length of the paper. Leave a small space at the top and bottom because you are going to insert text
10) Create 12 long lines and 32 short horizontal lines. Don't make them too long because in the spase area you will be inserting text.
11) Press the textbox button and on top of the timeline insert 5 million B.C. and at the bottom insert 350,000 B.C. Label long lines in order.
