Directions: You have recently examined five different political philosophers that have influenced American Government. For this project, you are going to imagine that Facebook and the Internet were created in the 17th Century. You and your group members are going to create a Facebook page on a poster board for one of the five philosophers we examined in class. The purpose of this assignment is for you to creatively demonstrate what you have learned about the philosopher you are assigned and how they influenced American government. The poster must include the following: 1.) Profile Picture: (5 points) A self portrait of the philosopher OR a picture of something that your specific philosopher might choose to post as his profile picture. 2.) Biography: (10 points) A biography or info section that explains to viewers about the philosopher, written in first person format. Must include at least 5 facts about the philosopher. (Place of birth, school attended, family, etc.)
3.) Status and Wall Posts: (5 points) A Status section that must include the date it was posted. Write an appropriate message from the philosopher; something he might be doing on the date you have chosen. Feel free to be creative with the post, and possible friends replies to the post on his wall, but make it relative to the philosopher. If you choose to write friends replies, you may also include if they like the post! 4.) Friends: (5 points) A Friends section that must include names and pictures of 3 people the philosopher might have been friends or colleagues with during their life. (professors, family members, other philosophers, etc.)
5.) Blog and Views: (20 points) A Blog section that must include the philosophers views on government. In this section you must describe with detail, the philosophers views and ideologies on government and, if applicable, a list of books or materials written by him. This section must also be written in first person format. 6.) Visual Appearance: (5 points) Your poster should be visually appealing, neat and well organized. If you have neat handwriting, you may handwrite all the information onto the poster. Or, you may type and print the information and glue it onto the poster in the appropriate sections.
You will use your notes, handouts and lessons to complete your poster. However, to create a thorough and complete Facebook poster, you MUST do research on your own. You will have some days in class with the laptops, but you may need to meet with your group outside of class to complete the research on your philosopher. Materials Needed: One poster (standard size) Colored Pencils and/or Markers Glue Anything else that might help you make your poster visually appealing!
This assignment will be taken as an assessment grade and will be worth 50 points. You will present your poster to the class on the due date, therefore, be prepared to answer questions about your poster, such as who the friends are and where you obtained your information. You must turn in a copy of the attached rubric with the names of all your group members!!
