 ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE

Students
will learn the basic ways to complete internet-based research.
 Students will focus on a famous historical figure and complete research
about that person’s life, and a significant event during that time in
history.  Students will be required to create a summary project based on
that event and that person.  Students will review and comment on work
created by their peers in class.

STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING!

STUDENTS
MUST START BY READING ALL DIRECTIONS ON CLASS WEBSITE!  Students will
use the resources in class to create a Facebook-Style page for a famous
historical figure.  The page created must center around a specific event
from that person’s life, and research must be done to describe the
person, event, and other people who would have been involved!  Today
students begin by creating a copy of the Facebook Presentation Template.  Students will spend time in class today naming the document, sharing the document with the instructor, and formatting/inserting photos into the document.  This is a single-step in a multi-step project.  Additional time will be allotted for students who fall behind to catch up.  Peer Mentoring is wildly encouraged.

 

Everyone,

 

Today you will begin to SETUP your Historical Figure Facebook Page (HFFP).  You should begin by READING all DIRECTIONS BELOW!  Once you have finished, we will go over parts of the pages together.

STEPS TO COMPLETE TODAY

 

1.  YOU MUST MAKE A COPY OF THE DOCUMENT THAT IS AT THE LINK ABOVE.  RENAME YOUR DOCUMENT "HFFP (Person's Name) (Your Last Name) P?"         Example:  HFFP JFKennedy Scribner P1

 

2.  You must SHARE the Google SLIDE (Presentation) with Mr. S (hscribnercaa@gmail.com)

 

3.  Open the location of your Pictures and Start by Formatting and Inserting the Pictures today.  Make sure to scale the pictures to the spaces appropriately, and make sure that they are appropriate.  Imagine you are the Famous Person and that you are placing the pictures they might have taken throughout their life.  Family, homes, friends, and events should all be there.  Make sure that the pictures of Friends/Enemies are correctly formatted and placed in the proper size, style and format.  TRY NOT TO ALTER THE BOX SIZES so the project will stay neat and orderly.

HISTORICAL FIGURE FACEBOOK PROJECT - PROJECT DETAILS 

Please read the following details for each page so you understand what I am looking for:

Main Page (Page 1)

1.  Profile Picture should be the same throughout the project

2.  Person's Name - Your Name should be same on all pages.

3.  SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL EVENT:  You must base this page and all
contents on a specific event from history.  This event will give you a
base time and date for making decisions about critical information.

3a.  POSTS:  All conversations / posts should have some historical
significance.  There should be a logical order to the posts and all
information listed.  You will have to "make up" some of the information
based on your research.  All of your "made up" information should have
historical context and be as accurate as you can get from your research.

4.  Basic Information should be as exact as possible. Please try to
maintain the Facebook Effect if you do not have specific information. 
What would your best guess be.  Make sure you can back up anything you
put on the page with some historical fact or reasoning.

5.  Friends / Enemies can be anyone from the same period of time in
history.  Anyone who lived during the same time could be a friend or
comment on your Historical Figure's wall.

6.  Make sure that the Historical Event information is copied on all pages where applicable.

Information Page (Page 2)

1.  All Basic Information should be the same as the column on the left.

2. 
GROUPS:  You should create / make up historical groups that your
Historical Figure might have been a part of.  Some should be from the
historical record if possible (College Alumni, Political Parties, other
groups), but others can be created in context (George Washington might
have been interested in the Virginia Farmers Guild).  Be creative and
have fun!  Just be able to back up your group names with some logical
reasoning.

3. 
Photo Album Preview:  Use two pictures here that would represent two
five-picture albums associated with your Historical Figure.  Try to
think of albums that would exist for your person.  Family, Friends,
Places Visited, Etc.

4.
PERSONAL INFORMATION:  Based on your research, what music, movies,
books, interests would your person have.  You may use period items if
they have something listed in the historical record, or you may INFER
what your person might have liked from today.  You may use some latitude
for this, but be able to explain your answers.

5. 
Contact Information should be as accurate as possible and timely.  Based
on the day of the Historical Event that this page is focused around,
what would the address and phone number be?  You can make up specifics,
but you must use correct area codes for phone numbers and zip codes /
cities for addresses.

6. 
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:  This section can be taken directly from an online
source.  You must list your source directly at the bottom.  Make sure
you find a description that is complete and as accurate as possible. 

 Photo Page (Page 3)

1. 
There are two rows of Photographs that should have a common theme.  Row 1
is one theme and Row 2 is another.  Each album below should be a
different theme as well.  Some themes could be Family, Friends,
Vacations, Places To Visit, Causes, etc.

2.  Make sure that your information at the top is the same as other pages.

Timeline / Source List Page (Page 4)

1. 
Person's Timeline should include at least 10 items.  These items should
include birth, death and anything else that is significant about your
person's life.  Dates should be as accurate as possible.

2. 
Source List / Bibliography:  Your sources can be copied and pasted
here.  There is not specific citation requirement.  I will check these
sources and if they are not accurate, you will lost points.  YOU MAY NOT
USE WIKIPEDIA, WIKIANSWERS, OR ANY SEARCH ENGINE AS A DIRECT SOURCE.

Older Posts / Historical Events Page (Page 5)

 1. 
Older Posts should be an extension of the POST section of Page 1.  Make
the conversation historically accurate and have people who were alive
discuss something relevant to the Historical Events of the Day.  Try to
have some logical / explainable order to your Posts here.

2. 
Other Historical Events of the Day:  This section should have no less
than six other events that happened while your Historical Figure was
alive.  They should be relevant to the conversation in the POSTS and
have something to do with any other Friends / Enemies listed.  Try to
tie things together in historical context.

Friends / Enemies Wall Page (Page 6)

 1. 
Make sure you fill up this page with anyone from the same historical
time as your Historical Figure.  You can stretch the imagination with
who would have known you if Facebook was around then.  Anyone with
similar dates will work, but be careful to check the ages of the people
you list against each other.  Do not have someone famous say hello if
they were in diapers at the time of your historical event.

I hope
these tips help clarify some of what I am looking for.  You have done an
amazing job so far with this project.  I see a lot of time and effort
in your research and in your presentations.
