Think of the timeline that we’re creating as a handy reader’s guide to Nella Larsen’s Quicksand<\/span>. \u00a0The complete timeline – – with all six sub-timelines – – will allow readers to locate Larsen’s novel within broader contexts (like cultural and social history) and even to think about events within the novel in relation to these contexts.<\/p>\n

The final version of the timeline is due: Thursday, November 19.<\/p>\n

Each group is responsible for 12 -18 timeline entries.<\/p>\n

We’ll work on the timeline in three stages:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Collecting, selecting, and organizing entries for the timeline<\/li>\n
  2. Creating timeline entries<\/li>\n
  3. Publishing and fine-tuning our timeline.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Stage 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Each of your groups (see below<\/a>) should create one collective google doc to start collecting and organizing information for your timeline. \u00a0(I’ve created one basic worksheet to help keep track of this phase of work. \u00a0You can find it here<\/a>. \u00a0To use it, copy it to your google docs. \u00a0E.g. under the “File” menu, click on “Copy.” \u00a0Rename the document with your group name and share it – – via the “Share” button – – \u00a0with your group members.)<\/p>\n

    In this phase, you and your group will have to: decide what events will most help a reader to contextualize the novel:<\/p>\n
