PROJECT: beliefsystemsfacebook.com

PROJECT OVERVIEW:

The Internet has revolutionized the way that people communicate all over the world. Ideas are shared instantaneously. Weblogs and social networking sites are popular and important means of communication.

For this project, you will be creating a “facebook profile” for an important religious figure from our class study. In addition, you will be accepting or denying “friend requests” from other belief systems figures.

You can’t access the real facebook, so you will need to be creative in the way you present your historical figure. Highlight the great achievements of your faith leader’s life, and get to know some interesting facts about your “friends”!

REQUIREMENTS: NO PICTURE OF MUHAMMAD!!!!!!! Instead, a picture of a Mosque or other appropriate Islamic image may be used.
