Students sat down to their Literature Class on Monday to a new project; a partner project on social media. You don’t have to do anything for this, but it would be fun if you did. Feel free to reach out to each other ooc to plot with this too. Partners were given in class and this is a week long project. 

Social media is now the best place for us to introduce ourselves to others and the world, right? What we reveal or what we hide about ourselves tells the story of who we are. And that is why we will be working in pairs. You will need to create your partner’s profile for a social media platform of your choosing. We can demonize social networks, like they do in other places, or we can use them as tools for learning. Get the most out of this opportunity, get close to your partner but keep it appropriate. And most of all, adapt it to your goal. Please, be creative. Use photos, videos, interviews, anything. You have access to all of the resources here at Las Dalton Encinas. 

How this will work is simple, you will all get together outside of class with your partner to talk about how you want to go about representing each other. You will all keep your own social media accounts, the accounts for this project will be made brand new. They can be on any social media networking platform, including Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, etc. You may open up accounts on more than one platform, but only one is required. You will run your partner’s new social media account, and you will do your best to represent them. You will continue to run this social media account for a full week, at which point we will be speaking about this again.

➽ Las Dalton Encinas social media project partners:

Blaine Anderson and Omar Shanaa

David Karofsky and Quinn Fabray

Campbell Clarington and Nadia Shanaa

Patrick Commerford and Oliver Grey

The ooc view for how this will work is simple too. You will continue to post as your own character, and you will continue to post content for your own character’s main social media accounts. You can also reach out to your partner and chat ic to get to know each other ic. You can plot ooc to use this for plotting purposes too. Think about secrets that your character has or things that nobody knows about your character and how you might be able to use that. You can watch Elite episode 2 to find out how it is used for plots on the show, or consider any Glee source material involving two people being alone together and how that opens up plotting potential. You don’t have to do anything at all, these aren’t real school projects and nobody is going to be failing you if you don’t participate, but this is something that you can use to give yourself a reason to be on the dash and I paired people up in a way to allow people to reach out to people that they don’t normally reach out to on purpose. Once you have figured out how your characters are going to hang out to get to know each other, whether you do that ic or ooc, you can then start making social media posts for your character’s partner. You get to make up a URL, pick a social media platform, and post whatever you want, knowing that the goal is to show who the other character is in a full sense. That means more than pictures, it can mean so many things. Think of how eclectic and full a personal Tumblr blog can be, or your Instagram or Twitter. Text posts, aesthetics, moodboards, memes, gifsets, videos from YouTube, and anything else you can think of is on the table. You can even write out full interviews in character through para, phone call, text, pm, etc and then post those in interview format. To keep track of these, I’ll be posting them on the @elitestarters blog so just @ the blog like you do for open starters.

WEEKLY CLUB THEME ↠ GLEE CLUB!

“What do you guys say when you answer the phone? Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, liked to say, “ahoy, ahoy” when he answered the phone. It was Edison who decided that “hello” was a more appropriate greeting. 

This week’s Glee club theme is HELLO.

There are two main reasons for this. First, it’s the beginning of the school year and there are new students all over the place. So it’s the perfect time to reach out and get things started. The second is because it’s time for some reinvention, to bring something new and better to competition. We need a new hello.” --The Glee club coach at San Esteban McKinley on Monday

@elitegleekblaine is the Glee club coach at Las Dalton Encinas, so you can go to him if you’re looking for some advice on what to do and your character attends the elite university. This assignment can be done as a solo, duet, or small group project. Participation is easy, all you have to do is post a song to your character’s blog as if you’re posting it on social media, however you want to do that. It can be a video or a music post, and it can be just the song or it can include a visual performance of some kind. You can write a small para explaining how things went down when they performed for the club, or you can post in social media format.

The way this works ic is Blaine announces the themes every week on Monday in Glee club after school at Las Dalton Encinas and at the same time the Glee club coach at San Estaban McKinley Community College announces the same theme.

This way, we can exploit the rivalry between the private and public schools that are shown in both Elite and Glee. Remember, these two Glee clubs are RIVALS. Not only do they have social status and the fact that a parent that donates to the private university also owns the construction company that was working on the community college when its roof collapsed. Nobody knows that it wasn’t just an accident, but it still causes tension and the construction company owner is still trying to get the press on his side. That was the whole point of him donating to reinstate the scholarship program to Las Dalton Encinas, to get some good press. And that could be another point of contention, some of the students that used to be in the community college’s Glee club are now students of the private university. So they’ve switched sides and these two have to COMPETE in competitions and ONLY ONE can go on to the end. So post your piece on social media but also comment on other people’s social media posts of their performances with this in mind. 

If your character isn’t in Glee club, these performances posted on social media can be the perfect way to get them interested / curious.

I’ll lay out the general step-by-step process for weekly club themes too (Glee club is the only one we’re doing right now, because it’s integral to the Glee tv show plots and drama):

Blaine will usually post the weekly theme, I just did it because it’s late and these will usually be posted on MONDAY to give everyone ample time to plot, play out rehearsals, and post if they want. I’ll drop the post on the main here too, because it is part of the main plot too.

All week long ic, Glee club members perform their theme participation piece during club time. 

You have until FRIDAY to plot things out and get stuff started on the dash. Consider plots related to Glee the tv show and even Elite the tv show as well and get creative. How can you best use these themes? They will be picked based on what’s going on in the group as a whole, so there will be content to exploit for plotting. If you’re not sure what to do, you can post ooc in the ooc blog asking if anyone wants to plot or you can go to Blaine ic/post an open starter. 

Reset button hits with a new theme on MONDAY after a weekend with no classes.

THE NUNIER OSUNA FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO INVITE THE SOCIALITES TO A NIGHT OF CELEBRATION: 

Tonight is their daughter’s, Marina Nunier Osuna, birthday party. The scholarship students have all received personal invitations in the mail as well, letting them know that they are also stars this evening in celebration of the two year hiatus in the scholarship program ending with the Nunier S.A construction company funding it. What the socialites will know is that the Nunier Osuna family was the one to fund the scholarship program before, and they were also the ones to stop funding it. What nobody knows is that they stopped funding the scholarship because their adopted son got in an altercation with a scholarship student after he had sex with Marina. 

To crown Marina, the Nunier Osuna family have spared no expense. The backyard of their mansion estate has been temperature controlled, lit with fairy lights, and catered with the finest. The patriarch was very careful to make sure that they hired a company that none of the scholarship students worked for, so that none of them might show up as employees and throw off the charitable aesthetic he was looking for when he invited them to attend as guests. This is a typical socialite event though, so there is live music but it is more classical orchestral than dance tunes and everybody is just standing around, talking to and about each other while dressed in their finest. It’s more of a parade than what most scholarship students might consider a party.

To make sure that the scholarship students are seen there with everyone else, and to draw attention away from the “accident” at San Esteban McKinley community college, photographers are there for the specific purpose of photographing the scholarship students. They will even ask for a photo of all of them together, as a group. The obvious intention is to write something about the scholarship students in the article for the local news about the party, though the puppeteering from the Nunier Osuna patriarch is not obvious. 

FOR ROLEPLAYING PURPOSES: We will be drawing this event out through the weekend, but it will all happen in character tonight. This is to allow people to hc together, dash chat talk, and start paras/post open starters that are meant to be during the party without feeling rushed in starting all of the things in one just night. Just tag your post with elite.events so that everyone knows your starter is meant to be for the party.
