Tweeting+WWII

You have been assigned to teams, within those teams you will be dividing up the countries involved in WWII and tweeting about the events as we study them.

You each have your own group space and can only post or "tweet" in that space if you are logged in. Your tweets can be a bit longer than 140 characters and include GIFS or links to whatever, but remember that this was in the 1940s and that societal norms were a little more reserved than they are today. Yes you are supposed to get into twitter wars with your enemies, the idea is to stay in character, but display understanding of what was going on at the time. No one has ever solved an argument over twitter.

The countries you need to represent are marked with an asterix, each of you will pick four countries at least to tweet as. They can be from both Allies and Axis powers: Germany* Italy* Japan* Britain* France* USSR* Australia Canada New Zealand India China USA* Poland Austria Holland Brazil Denmark Egypt Greece Iran Korea Ethiopia Portugal Armenia

See Wikipedia for a brief listing by country

Each of you will make at least 50 tweets for this project. 50 is the bare minimum. Just getting the job done never earns full credit in a project or life. Always go above and beyond.

__**Rubric**__
 * Content:** Minimum 50 tweets, no max. All respectful and perfectly edited to earn 10pts.
 * Accuracy:** All content historically accurate for the full 20pts, once mistakes or overgeneralizations are made, points are deducted.
 * Creativity:** Incredible creativity in every single tweet to earn 10 points, use of images, puns, throwing shade and props are all totally encouraged! Some splashes of creativity here and there for 5
 * Connections** to other countries, every tweet in chronological order and most directed to another country. 10pts Random shout outs are for newbs.

You will be posting in your group space, replying to each other etc. You can either edit the page as you go, which can be done by one person at a time or post in the discussion section like those are your tweets. The choice is yours. No, I don't think you should just do this in actual twitter, your friends would sabotage you quickly. You need to plan it out either way. You cannot work ahead or get behind in this project without it really showing. This will require planning, collaboration, and communication (just like all projects in real life) the wiki makes it super easy to comment on each other's posts and then make another thread for new comments. No, you cannot just do this in google docs, it has to be visible to all of us every day. Thanks!

Everyone has to post as you will be graded according to what you personally have posted.

Only I have the ability to delete on the wiki. You can ask me to delete a post, please be specific in your email as I will be scrolling through a lot.
