English I (Pre-AP): TKaM Facebook Project

To complete this project you must create a fake Facebook page for one of the characters of To Kill a Mockingbird. You may use any character except Boo Radley (or any other character for which you cannot come up with five "friends").

Please lay out your page (I will provide 11"x17" paper; you may also use your own paper that size or larger), to include the following:

• A large picture of your character. It can be a hand-drawn picture of a person or a symbol/icon representing that character.


• Background information about that character:
  • Age
  • Gender
  • Where they go/went to school
  • Hobbies/Interest
  • Occupation (if an adult)
  • Etc.
  
  
• At least five Facebook "friends." Each friend needs a picture/symbol/icon representing him/her.


• At least three status updates. Updates can either be based on events in the book or a photo they're sharing of something that exists/happens in the book (for instance a picture of a tree similar to the one in the Radley yard that things are hidden in). Please try to speak in the same voice as the character. It is doubtful that Atticus would post "'sup holmes?"


• You should have likes/comments for your posts. At least one post must have a comment thread with five or more entries. The comments should be accompanied by the picture/symbol/icon for that character.


• If you are making a paper Facebook page, you may add yourself to as a "friend" of your character, but you may not add anyone else outside of the book. If you and a group are going in and creating profiles actually on Facebook, you may not add non-story characters.


• You may add ads, tickers, "you may also know"s, etc., for additional credit.
