For me this assignment was both super easy to do, while also being fun! For this assignment, we were required to choose a favorite person (someone famous or a historic figure) and create a fake twitter post using Twister.

For me personally, I have always been interested in the story of Lizzie Borden. I think that it is so interesting how there is so much controversy over whether or not she killed or parents. It also is interesting to me that one of the most horrific crimes during her time period was committed by her, a women!

Doing this assignment was pretty easy and did not take much time to complete. First, I went on twister (http://www.classtools.net/twister/). On the bottom of the page there is a form that you have to fill out in order to get the fake profile. When completing the form, you need to come up with a fake username (can be the real persons name or make believe), then you add the person’s name, write the tweet, and then put a date for when the tweet was posted (I had to use google for this in order to figure out when exactly she was alive). After completing the form, you then hit the submit button and you get your fake profile! The only issue that I had was that I could not copy and paste in order to get it on this page. With that being said, I had to use the snipping tool on my computer and save it.
