Historical Fictitious Character Folder
Historical Fictitious Character
Folder
In order to make the year more fun, give you a
reference point and to give you some true appreciation for history, you will
be required to maintain a portion of your 3 ring folder titled "Historical
Fictitious Character Folder.
Here's how it will work:
1) You will
be given a character sheet to create a person living in the time we are
studying. This person may be
anyone you want: man, woman,
white, black, young , old etc..
You cannot be related to anyone who actually existed and you cannot be
unrealistic. If for example you
want to be Chinese you must know where a Chinese in
America
would live and under what conditions.
2) This
folder will be brought to class everyday.
Your grade will be directly based on how accurate you are.
If for example you are a Lutheran in 1300 you will be destroyed since
Lutheranism did not begin until the 1500's.
You will keep in this folder:
A. All historical
character sheets.
B. A map of America
of the time for your character showing where the
character lives.
C. A running family
tree.
D. Additional write-ups
and characterizations as announced by the
teacher.
3) Buying a
grade. In order to give this
realism, you will earn class money for your character.
Among other things, this money will allow you to purchase a quiz or a
test grade at the end of each term.
4) You will
earn money for regular class duties.
However, you may also earn money by performing special activities
with your character. For
example, you could travel on a trading expedition to
Alaska.
You would write this up on a separate piece of paper.
The more detailed you are the better your chance of success.
For more advice, ask the teacher.
5) Since
the grade you buy will be extra-credit, you will all start out poor and YOU
MAY BE KILLED AT ANY TIME AND LOSE ALL MONEY IN YOUR PHYSICAL POSSESION!
Therefore you should not take silly risks since you will always want
to buy a grade if you can.
6) You may
not avoid or manipulate the future (no leaving Pearl
Harbor
before WWII because you know its coming!) or invent things that did not
exist.
7) If you
die, you will pay funeral costs and risk losing everything if you are not
careful.
8) Just as
random events such as Hurricanes and Tornadoes can effect us, you too can be
subject to these events. At any
time the teacher can wipe you out just as he can decide you inherit 1000
coins from a dead uncle.
9) Arguing
with the teacher means instant death.
10) You may
not change MAJOR historical events but you may participate in them.
