Learning and constructing a character for a Twitter re-enactment challenges someone to look at an individual’s actions and illustrate them as thoughts. For Otto Kuehn, using the archives was ideal to track every purchase and decision he had a hand in making. The project also forces a student to think of ways an occupation would see Twitter as a benefit if it was around during that time. Otto Kuehn was a president so it is vital to tweet like a president or past president. It is a skillful tool to use in re-creating stories while learning an unlimited part of history.
