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. You
need:
Create a Facebook page at FB account: lamber310@gmail.com Password:5544332211
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?

FACEBOOK PAGE for AUTHOR
Required elements:
• Profile name and picture/icon

• 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.
