Friend Mulan (What They Might Have Done in Social Media Assignment)

Posted by

Here is the last component of my final project! For this final assignment, I wanted to do a web assignment, so I went with one of my favourite ones, the “What They Might Have Done in Social Media” assignment.

For this one, you have to make a fake Facebook page and fake Twitter tweet. Since I’m doing Mulan for my final project, I made the social media pages applicable to her in a hypothetical high school setting.

Here’s the fake Facebook I made for her (click on the picture for the page!):

Anddd here’s the fake tweet I made:

The one problem I had making the social media pages was trying to figure out what date to put for the Facebook posts, the tweet, and Mulan’s birthday… The Disney movie never really stated when Mulan took place, so I had to Google around. I found out that Mulan is based on a Chinese legend! Who knew, right? I was reading the history of Hua Mulan, and apparently nobody really knew when the poem was written. They think it was written before the Tang dynasty (which starts in 618), so I just picked a date that was before then.

But omgosh, I can’t believe I’m done with all the components of my project! Now to put them together into a cohesive story… Look out for my next post for the finished product (:
