Blog Post Week #8

Here is your Week 8 blog assignment. This should be posted on your individual blog by Friday, October 14th. The title of the post should be "Last Name Blog Post #6". A good blog post will reference discussions from class as well as the assigned readings for that week (and from earlier weeks if applicable). All blog posts should be in complete sentences and show evidence of real thought. It's pretty easy to tell if you wrote it at 4:55pm on Friday. You don't have to answer all of the questions listed under each number, but you should attempt to answer the questions fully. You may write in paragraph essay form, or you can respond to each question listed by number.

For the past few weeks, we've been discussing social media and rhetorical principles. For this blog post, you'll have the opportunity to put these discussions into action. You will create a fake Facebook profile on www.myfakewall.com. You will choose a famous person (celebrity, athlete, musician, author, etc) and create a profile for him/her. Check out some of the profiles that already exist such as Cinderella, John Lennon, and Ben Franklin. Using My Fake Wall requires you to register and takes a little adjustment to figure out, so be sure to give yourself some time to figure out the program.

In your blog post this week, please copy and paste the link to your blog. Also please include a short description (2-3 sentences) that tells what celebrity you picked and what the purpose of the My Fake Wall profile is (to be funny, to show the accomplishments of the celebrity, to satirize, etc).

This should be a fun assignment, so feel free to get creative and have a good time with this.
