A top-to-bottom orientation is typically the most effective for conveying a timeline or sequence of events, as it follows the natural reading order for most cultures. Beginning at the top and moving down also allows the chart to flow more fluidly and intuitively. Choosing any of the other options (beginning at the left or right and moving horizontally, or beginning at the bottom and moving up) would likely be more confusing or require more cognitive effort from the students to follow.
