>Objective/Task: For this assignment, you will design and create a Facebook profile for a journalist or photojournalist that
you will draw randomly. The profile must be complete and based on research that you will do in preparation for creating the
profile.
>Common Core Standards:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information
clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.4 Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to
task, purpose, and audience.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.8 Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced
searches effectively; assess the usefulness of each source in answering the research question; integrate information into the text
selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation.
Requirements:
First, research the person you have been given. Take notes to ensure that you find information that is both pertinent and
relevant. Next, include each of the following sections as part of your Facebook profile.
 About Me section to introduce your journalist/photojournalist to the class. For this section, you need to include:
o Work and Education
o An “about me” paragraph written from the point of view of the journalist/photojournalist.
o Basic Info to include birthday, sex, relationship status, anniversary (if relevant), religious views, and political
views.
o Hometown
o Contact information: you may need to make this up, but it should be relevant to your research
o Favorite Quotations
o Personal Information including activities, interests, favorite music, favorite movies, favorite tv shows,
favorite books (you will probably need to make these up! Make it relevant to your research).
 A “Friends” section where you list 8-10 (complete with photos and names) people who are affiliated with this
person.
 A “Photo” section whereas you include at least 8 photos that are either of the person you are representing or photos
that the person would find relevant. A photojournalist, for example, might include a combination of photos of
him/herself and photos he/she has taken.
 A “Likes” section where you list at least 8 different things there person might like. Even if your person has passed
away, you can make some reasonable guesses, based on your research, of some more modern things he/she
might “like”.
 A “Wall” with at least 10 status updates that the person might reasonably place, given the research you’ve done.
 At least 5 comments under status updates by “friends” of this person who might be interested in the updates.
Other Options:
If you’d like, you may include games this person might play, groups he/she would be in, or a family tree.
