Renaissance Facebook Pages Projects

Make a fake Facebook page for your Renaissance person.

Use the research you did in class, the history book and any other sources (internet) that you can find.

Be creative.

Make it look like a real Facebook page.  You can find samples by searching for images of "historical facebook pages."

You can do this assignment on paper or by using Fakebook at

www.classtools.net.

Select Fakebook once you are on the Class Tools website.

You'll have to do several postings before you can save.

BE SURE TO WRITE DOWN YOUR LINK CORRECTLY AND TO WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD WHEN YOU SAVE.

You must keep track of your template link and your password to edit your Fakebook page later.

This project is due on Tuesday. You can do it on paper or by using Fakebook.  Please print your project if you can. If your page will not print, send the correct link to me at jchester@nusd.org.

Remember, if you cannot figure out how to use Fakebook, do your assignment on paper.  There is no penalty at all for doing the project on paper.

Renaissance Dinner Party Assignment

Cut out or tear out the ten heads of the people we studied in chapter 30 on Leading Figures of the Renaissance.

Draw a large rectangle in your history journal to serve as a table.

Arrange all ten people around the table as though they were guests at a dinner party.

Be sure to seat people next to or across from people they have something in common with.  You don't want any guests sitting next to someone they would not like.  They should be able to have a conversation with the people they are sitting next to.

Glue the heads into your history journal.

Label each head.

In a short paragraph explain why you sat everyone where you did.  Write this paragraph in your history journal. You may want to write it inside the rectangle you drew for the table.

This assignment is due on Friday.
