Update: Instagram

WE WILL NOT BE FINISHING THE INSTAGRAM PROJECT.  WE ARE WORKING ON A PROJECT WITH MR. T'S CLASSES MOST OF THE WEEK AND WE NEED TO KEEP ON TRACK WITH THEM.  THEREFORE, IT'S OUTTA THE GRADE BOOK.



The Diary of Anne Frank Follow-up Project  (Due: January 7; Reading)
Goal:
·         Your task is to create a fake Instagram page for a major character in the play.
·         The goal is to share a well-rounded characterization that includes their interests, physical appearance, interactions with others, what they say to others, what others say to/about them, the legacy they left behind after death, and personal interests.
·         The obstacle to overcome is to keep chronological and comprehensive notes throughout the play in order to span their entrance into, duration of stay, and exit from the annex.  One comment will also reflect on their legacy—a person reflecting on their page about their life.
Role:
·         You are to choose one person whose perspective will be revealed in your Instagram: Anne Frank, Otto Frank, Edith Frank, Margot Frank, Hermann Van Pels (Mr. VanDaan), Auguste Van Pels (Mrs. VanDaan), or Peter Van Pels.
·         Come up with a “username” for him/her.
Situation:
·         The context you find yourself in is that instead of a hand-written diary like Anne had, you'll pretend that you are hiding in the annex and updating your own Instagram page.
·         The challenge is to not give away any information about where and how you are hiding from the Nazis.  Do not endanger anyone’s lives.  You may also have to do personal research to learn more about the character.
Product:
·         You will create an Instagram page using the provided template.
·         You need to develop images that reflect interests, important dates, and quotes from your person and others in the Secret Annex.
Standards and Criteria:
·         Address some of the following “hash tags”:


o   #internalconflict
o   #genocide
o   #symbolization
o   #culture
o   #climate
o   #isolation
o   #DDay
o   #climax
o   #theend
o   #andsoitbegins
o   #Hanukkah
o   #Nazis
o   #HateforHitler



o   #charactersandpets


·         A successful Instagram page will accurately integrate history of a Holocaust victim in a modern format.
