The+Antebellum+Ant+Farm+Project

__**The Task**__ For this project, you will be assuming the role of someone who lived (or could have lived) during the Antebellum Era. Your task is to keep a series of journal entries reacting to events that took place during this time period along with reacting to the actions of other characters (your classmates) during this era.

In class, we will be drawing names out of a hat to determine which role you be. Upon being assigned your character, you must then complete a character outline for your character, covering basic biographical information. You must also include a picture on your page as well.

For each of the next five classes, you will then write a 300-500 word journal entry reacting to an event or time period of my choosing. All writing must be in your own words!!! (Any quotes should be limited to no more than a sentence or two.) Please remember to use proper grammar and speak in an appropriate voice for your character. You must also cite any sources you use (in proper MLA format) at the bottom of your page.

1. You may not murder another student's character. You may, however, murder someone related to another person's character. 2. If you murder someone related to another person's character, you MUST notify that person of your action (preferably through the discussion tab on the wiki.) 3. You MUST suffer the consequences of your actions in all subsequent diary entries. If you kill someone in your diary, keep the story going. What happened next? 4. There should be a realistic, convincing reason for all actions that you take in your diary entries. I want you to take some risks and show the tensions of this tumultuous era, but don't be "silly". 5. While you must interact with at least two other members of the ant farm in each diary entry, you are free to interact with more than that if you would like.
