This Module covered the overall topic of identity in the colonies. Your task is now to choose a particular demographic from within colonial society and assess their roles and attitudes towards colonial life. Research a historical figure who was alive between 1600 and 1750 from the list below and extrapolate how their identity and interactions shaped their actions in society. What attitudes did they have concerning other demographics? How were they treated by other demographics? How did their cultural identity change? How did their geographical location influence their attitudes and beliefs?
Imagine if your chosen person had a Facebook profile. What would they post about? Who would their friends be? Keeping these questions in mind, create a dummy Facebook page for your chosen person by downloading the Facebook Template below. Try to be as complete (and creative!) as you can.
