Creating Fake Facebook in Class

Hi Everyone,

Mark R, Gary and I were discussing fake facebook style pages as an assessment tool or activity before our afternoon session started.

The following is a link to my school website where I did an activity with one of the 7th grade language arts teachers on Tom Sawyer.

Students had to create a four-square poster on superstitions, "text message" a plot diagram using Keynote or Powerpoint, and then create a fake facebook wall for a character from Tom Sawyer.  My website has all of the details, including all of my templates that I created for it.  If you don't have Pages 08 or Keynote 08 and would like a copy you can use, just let me know and I'll convert it for you.

This took up four days in class, was the culminating activity and assessment for Tom Sawyer and students had 3 additional days to turn it into Moodle.

All of the information is here, with links to the additional pages at the bottom.
