The Crucible Twitter

What if Twitter existed in 1692? What crazy things would some of the characters say? How would each character portray the events happening in Salem?

For this assignment, you’re going to be able to re-create Salem through a character’s Twitter.

Using the Twitter template found in the I: Drive (Tancredi(English 10(Salem Twitter Template or on Mrs. T’s website () , create an accurate account of the events happening in Act 1 & 2 according to your assigned character.

If you want to create an actual twitter account for your character, you may do that as well. Be sure to adhere to the requirements below & provide Mrs. T with a link to the twitter & print out. Even better, have your twitter account follow @TancrediEnglish

Requirements:

• A picture of your character (draw it or find a picture on the web and paste it in!)

• Their name, twitter tag (@TancrediEnglish), a brief 1 sentence bio, and date of birth (Be historically accurate – how old are they in 1692, and subtract!)

• Recent Images (2-3) – look up images of Salem/other things the character might like!

• Similar to You – at least 2 other Twitter accounts that would be similar – perhaps include 2 other characters. For each, you’ll need to include a small picture, their twitter tag, and a 1 sentence bio.

• Tweets – At least 8 tweets (you’ll need to include text boxes on the ppt slide and type in the tweet). 4+ Tweets must be written by your character. The others can be tweets from other characters. You must include at least one direct quote said BY your character or ABOUT your character. Don’t forget to include creative hash tags and other elements that make the tweets realistic! Your tweets should focus around plot events and characters! Remember: the most recent tweets come first, so be sure to arrange accordingly!

You will be randomly assigned a character!
