For this assignment we were supposed to create a fake Facebook and Twitter on a historical figure of our choice. I chose Jane Goodall, a primatologist known for the study of chimpanzees. I have done several projects on Jane Goodall including a 50 page research paper, poster and $900 fundraiser to support her chimpanzee sanctuary. I look up to Jane Goodall as my historical idol. Though I am not going into the career path she chose, I hope to be half the woman she was in my own career path. She made a difference in people’s lives that no one thought would be possible.
Her biggest quote was the tweet I chose to write about. She is still living to this day and continually says this quote in each of her speeches she makes around the world, as it tends to be her closing remark. Therefore, I kept the date in the present even though she probably has said that quote hundreds of times. She has lived by that motto for probably 50 years and continues to live by it to this day.
This assignment was relatively easy and I found it actually very fun to make a Facebook and Twitter for her! It was very user friendly and straight-forward.
