IB 20

For those of you who are still a little bit confused about your wars of independence in Latin America, I'd like to offer you the following bits of information: I think that you can complete this assignment completely in Facebook itself, although I noticed that the other IB 20 classes are using the fake Facebook page in Word if you're interested. You might have to set up some dummy/fake accounts in Facebook for Simon Bolivar, San Martin, O'Higgins, etc. Just focus on the revolutions/independence movement in South America. You don't have to get into the Haitian Revolution or the Mexican Revolution.

What events happened in these independence movements? What role did each of these individuals play in these wars of independence? What might they have put on their Facebook page about their experiences (if Facebook existed back then)?

That's the mindset that you have to get into: what would have appeared on their Facebook pages if Facebook were around back then? What would they have "liked"? What photos would they have put up on their page? Who would their friends be? What would they have commented on?

I hope that this has helped.
