Let me work through this step by step to match the words with the timeline of Shakespeare's life.

Looking at the timeline from left to right (chronological order):

1. First image (baby being held) - This represents birth
- Word: was born

2. Second image (child reading a book) - This represents learning/education
- Word: learn

3. Third image (wedding couple) - This represents marriage
- Word: married

4. Fourth image (person traveling/moving) - This shows someone going somewhere
- Word: went to London

5. Fifth image (theater building) - This is the Globe Theatre, which was built/constructed
- Word: construct

6. Sixth image (man writing with quill) - This shows Shakespeare as a writer
- Word: writer

7. Seventh image (newspapers about plague) - This relates to his career as an actor during difficult times
- Word: actor

8. Eighth image (sonnet book) - This shows his work as a playwright/writer creating plays and sonnets
- Word: play

9. Ninth image (notebook with English exercises) - This could relate to inventing new words (Shakespeare invented many words)
- Word: invent

10. Tenth image (tombstone with cross) - This represents death
- Word: died

Wait, let me reconsider the order more carefully by looking at the dotted line connections:

Following the dotted line path:
1. Baby → was born
2. Child reading → learn
3. Wedding → married
4. Traveler with skull → This might be going to London or actor
5. Theater building → construct (building the theater)
6. Man writing → writer
7. Newspapers → actor (performing despite plague)
8. Sonnet book → play (writing plays and sonnets)
9. Notebook → invent (inventing words)
10. Tombstone → died

Actually, looking more carefully at the traveler image with the skull - that seems to represent an actor (holding a skull like in Hamlet). Let me reorganize:

The correct chronological order following the dotted lines should be:
1. was born (baby)
2. learn (child reading)
3. married (wedding)
4. went to London (traveler)
5. construct (theater building)
6. writer (man with quill)
7. actor (person with skull - performing)
8. play (sonnet/poetry book)
9. invent (notebook with word inventions)
10. died (tombstone)

Final Answer:
Following the timeline from left to right along the dotted lines:

1. was born
2. learn
3. married
4. went to London
5. construct
6. writer
7. actor
8. play
9. invent
10. died
