Your task is to create a facebook page for someone placed in any of the circles from Dante's Inferno. There are nine levels to Dante's circles of Hell. In addition to the nine levels, there are two stages that contain facebook pages before you enter the gates of Hell. The first stage takes place in the Dark Wood of Errors. The second stage is the Vestibule before the entrance to Hell. Each stage of Dante's journey has a brief description, list of characters, quotes and anaylsis to help you better understand the people that would be found in this area of Dante's Hell.

Three facebook pages can be produced per level including the two stages leading up to the entrance of Hell. Select your page well. You will need to choose your level and advise Ms. Rachwal which level or stage you will be submitting before creating the page. Because only five people per level or stage will be permitted, you should have at least two back up levels to choose from if your first choice is already full.

Your facebook page will contain the following REQUIRED elements (these are done on the Word Document template)
  1. Main feature question,
  2. image (original or pasted),
  3. profile summary,
  4. one posting on your wall.



Once Ms. Rachwal verifies your choice, select the link below to take you to the appropriate page.

The Vestibule
Circle 1 Limbo
Circle 2 The Lustful
Circle 3 The Gluttonous
Circle 4 Hoarders and Wasters
Circle 5 The Styx and The Wrathful
Circle 6 The Heretics and City of Dis
Circle 7 The Violent
Circle 8 The Fraudulent
Circle 9 The Treacherous

In addition to the REQUIRED elements stated above, you must also choose two additional items to submit on your page in any arrangement of your choice. You may choose from the following:
  1. photo albums (must include at least three additional images related to your character)
  2. music library (must include either a playlist of ten songs or one audio clip of a favorite song)
  3. groups (create a group that this character would belong to and include names and activities or events in which to participate)

  7. competitions (create a quiz for your friends to take that relates to your characters situation in some way. Use polldaddy.com)
  8. friends (create a list of at least three friends with images and what you like about them, They must relate to your level.)

You will embed all of these elements as widgets on your wiki page by clicking the landscape icon for images and word documents or the tv icon in the top navigation bar for embedding audio or video files.
