Assignment 1
For our first assignment students will post as a historical figure from the revolutionary era. In class we have been studying the events leading up to and the events of the American Revolution. In class students will choose one figure from the revolutionary era and create several blog posts as if they are writing a letter about their experiences during the Revolution. Students will be working in pairs on their posts.
When posting students will first have to identify who they are writing as and provide a short biography of their historical figure. After they have done this they will enter into character and write a post. Their posts may be short or long depending on what they are writing about. It is expected that students post at least once a day. In addition, while not required graphics and other supporting materials are welcomed.
Finally I must remind the students that these blogs are accessible to the world and therefore all posts should be school appropriate and students should not include any identifying information about themselves.
