English 205 web project
Web project
Rather than submitting a traditional essay, choose an author from one of the texts that we have read (through Week 5) and build a web project around him/her.
1. Create a Facebook page
Before you begin, spend some time thinking about the characteristics of each of these media; the advantages and disadvantages of each, audience, idiom, format. Why is the one that you have chosen a good match for the author?
_________________________________________________________________________
The author options are:
Bradford Bradstreet Taylor
Rowlandson Crèvecoeur Paine
Adams Franklin Equiano
· Creativity is encouraged and will be rewarded
· Grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. will count!
FACEBOOK PAGE for AUTHOR
Required elements:
· Profile name and picture/icon
· Wall posts (5-6)
· About me: interests – books, music, quotations, phrases
· Like 3-5 other pages (you can check how example do this part

· Scope and completeness
· Historical accuracy
· Weave direct quotes from the text(s) where appropriate.
As an example, here is a link to a similar project that a student did for one of my other classes where she created a FB page for a fictional character in a short story set in the 19th century.

Of course, this example could be expanded even more, but it gives you a starting point.
