These days famous people announce their daily adventures so their fans can keep up with their

every action. They call it “tweeting” their fans. Essentially, they are giving their fans a daily timeline.
Each tweet has the date and time with an under 280-character message next to it. Imagine if some
of the people we have discussed in class tweeted their experiences. What would they say? What
would a day in his/her life be like?

 In this assignment you are going to enter 4 days of tweets from Empress Theodora.
 Use the template provided to put her name, her title in society, and her geographical location at

A real Twitter example from Conan OBrien:

Monday, July 3, 1384, 10:00 AM
I am concerned because I hung
out with Nancy at her stable
yesterday and she has woken up
with the chills. It could be the
plague!
Oh no! I am getting the chills! I
think I am going to stay home
today.

Monday, July 3, 1384, 12:00 AM Nancy’s mom just told me she has
a had a fever all night. I am feeling
hot too.

Monday, July 3, 1384, 8:00 AM Over half of my town has already

died from the plague this year! I
am going to stay strong! Pray for
me.
