Facebook Project
Objective: Students will research an important historical figure from the second half of the year. They will create a Facebook page for their figure to display key facts and achievements.
Directions: On the profile you must include / indicate:
1) A profile photograph. Just make sure the photograph reflects the physical traits of the person you are embodying (*artistic talent is not being measured).
2) A photo album encompassing names of people they may be connected to. Under every name write a brief caption of how they know each other.
3) An information section indicating the character’s date of birth, etc. (biographical information). You also must include a quotation by them.
4) In a section which says, “write something about yourself,” you need to include information regarding their accomplishments.
5) In a section of wall posts, have posts from other figures / events that actively reflect the situations of your figure. Here you can do what you wish as long as it relates to the time period.
6) You can add any other unique aspects of social media (Instagram, Twitter)
7) You will be graded on teamwork, creativity, and content.
