The Declaration of Independence
Microblogs are social networking services that allow people to create mini-blog posts of up to 140 characters in length. Companies, celebrities, and politicians use microblogs to keep "followers" up to date on important events and news; but anyone can create a microblog account to communicate and share events and news with followers.
A sample set of two microblog posts about the Declaration of Independence is shown below:
The people must agree to be governed. #socialcontract
All men are created equal.
For this assignment, you will need to create a short collection of five microblog posts that reference five different facts, events, or philosophies related to the Declaration of Independence. As modeled in the example above, these posts do not have to be complete sentences, but they should be complete thoughts. Your microblog posts should be creative, easy to understand, and they should use appropriate language.
