Process
For this assignment, you will be assigned a historical figure from the Second Industrial Revolution and you will create a Fakebook profile as if you were that person. You will then present your project to the class. 1. First, you will choose one historical figure from the list provided. This person will be the topic of your project. 2. Once you have chosen your historical figure, you will begin research on this person. In order to receive full credit, you will need to create at least FIVE status updates that reflect something your character would have said (updates about their accomplishments, new inventions, quotations, etc.). 3. Next, begin searching for pictures to use for your character’s profile. Again, in order to receive full credit, you will need to post at least FIVE pictures of things your historical figure would post (pictures of themselves, their creations, their home, etc.). Your character’s profile picture does NOT count as one of the five pictures needed. To find information on your specific person go to the tabs up above, click more, and click on pathfinder. Here you will find resources for you to do all linked to your historical figure. 4. After you have gathered all of your research and pictures, you may begin creating your Fakebook profile at this link: http://www.classtools.net/FB/ home-page 5. You will also need to comment on at least FIVE other posts on your classmates’ profiles. Be sure to make comments that are relevant and correspond to something your character would have said. 6. Next, you will create a 3-5 minute speech to present the profile that you have made for your historical figure. In order to receive full credit, you must dress up as your character and bring in more than TWO props that correspond with your presentation. You will have one week to complete this assignment. Feel free to get creative with these profiles, but please remember to keep all pictures and posts school appropriate. Please refer to the rubric to see how you will be graded. |
