Imagine being stuck in a trench for months without any contact with your family, country, or the general comforts of home. This was indeed the case for many young soldiers during World War I. Many of these young men were teenagers just like you. How would you pass the time to save your sanity while still defending your nation?

With the advanced technology and social networking tools that we have today, we receive news as it happens. Imagine if we could have received tweets (similar to text messages) from the trenches giving us a play by play of what was happening on the Western Front?

For this assessment, you will create ten tweets from the trenches in World War I. Use the Ten Tweets from the Trenches to get started. As you create your tweets, be sure to put yourself in the shoes of a young solider camped out in a trench on the Western front. You may choose what side you wish to represent. What do you want to share with the world? Each tweet must be a minimum of 100 characters and is limited to a maximum of 140 characters.

Here are some questions to consider:

What nation are you fighting for?
Why did you decide to fight for your nation?
Was fighting in the war what you expected?
Are you able to effectively fight against your enemy? Why or why not?
What have you seen, heard, and smelled in the trenches?
What do you know about the enemy?
What are your goals if you make it out alive?
How are you passing the time?
What would you like to tell your family or the citizens of the nation that you are fighting for?

Ditto, and to be honest these should be extremely easy, you're being creative not looking up things in a book... all it's asking you to do is use your imagination for a good 20 minutes max. If I were you I would consider this assignment fun, at least it's not just asking you to search your textbook for useless facts you will likely never use in life.
