World+War+I+Unfolds+Via+Twitter!


 * You have just heard how the summer of 1914 started with an almost-failed assassination attempt of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and ended with multiple powerhouse nations rushing into war
 * Go ahead and get into pairs
 * Now, you will be putting yourselves in the shoes of one of the key nations at play (you will draw the nation from the box your teacher has, but you will either be Germany, Austria-Hungary, the United Kingdom, France, Serbia, or Russia)
 * Please write six tweets (140 characters) that are released from your nation between the dates of June 28, 1914 - December 31, 1914 that show the progression of the involvement in World War I on your country's behalf
 * Include the date, and if relevant, the time stamp for your tweet
 * You may assign a fun (but appropriate) hash tag if you like
 * Your dates should span the time frame above (not all be from June 28th)
 * You should use your books or online sources to confirm dates, get ideas, and try to really envision your nation's perspective
 * You will be posting all six tweets in sequence to the **class** Edmodo page - DO NOT post them separately. Post them sequentially in ONE post like this:
 * From the perspective of the United States:
 * #1: June 28, 1914 - The USA extends our condolences to Austria-Hungary and will keeps his family in our prayers. #sadnews
 * #2: July 28, 1914 - Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia today - should be a quick trouncing! #stayingoutofit
 * #3: July 29, 1914 - Russia is mobilizing? Woah now. #letsnotjumptoconclusions
 * #4: August 4, 1914 - Britain joins the madness - good luck! #stillstayingoutofit
 * #5: Fall 1914 - Anyone want to buy war supplies? We'll cut you a great deal! #neutralbutcapitalists
 * #6: Fall 1914 - The Central Powers AND the Allies both want our help, but really folks we are going to pull a Switzerland for now... #stuckinthemiddle #stillstayingoutofit
