You are
about to start a new edition of your favourite historical activity... twitter
in class!
London, 1 May 1851. Queen Victoria is about to inaugurate the “Great
Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations” at the Crystal Palace...
Here you have a full list of possible Victorian' characters you can impersonate during the activity (the Queen? Her Prime Minister? A suffragist? A famous writter? An industrial worker?... there are many possibilities!); take a couple of days for reading it carefully, doing some online investigation and choosing your 3 favourites in the preference order. On Friday, 14 January at exactly 16:00 hours, you can send me an email with your list. Important to notice!!!: ONLY the messages send to ACARRILES@EDUCA.JCYL.ES will be accepted!!! The characters will be assignated according to your preferences in strictly chronological order in the email inbox.
Once you have received my confirmation email, you must create a twitter account (please do NOT use your personal one) as you were him/her. With this “historical account” you become follower of @auladeadriana.
The activity time-frame will be between Tuesday 18 to Friday 28, January, both included. During those days you have to create a minimum of 20 tweets (12 of them base on real primary sources) in the name of your chosen character. Try not to be independent, but “talk” with the others (a worker complaining to his boss because of the terrible laboral conditions? Queen Victoria visiting the Universal Exhibition? Politicians exchanging messages and speeches?...). In case of a doubt, send me a private message by twitter.
Do NOT wait until the last day to tweet "everything" as that will be not accepted; the mail idea of this activity is to create a role-game, interaction and debate with the other participants if vital.
The previous years, this experiment was a total success and your partners really did good performances, so you will have to work hard for leading them...
This work
is individual and mandatory and will be part of the score at the end of the
term. If you fail to finish it, do it out of date, or just copy from a
webpage, the mark will be a 0 for this work.
Be creative
and enjoy it! J
