Fakebook again



On November 19, I made a post on Fakebook and this could be used in pretty much every course depending on how creative you are.  I have now included instructions with a marking scheme.  You can edit this to fit your classes.  To get these instructions click here.  I have also included two  template examples of this using  a Power Point.  The first example is a .ppt file with John F Kennedy.  Click here.  The other is a  .pptx file with Monet.  Click here.


If you would like to see some Fakebooks made by students using another Fakebook maker as shown above go here.  If you would like to try a very quick summary of a persons life or a character in a novel you could use a Fake Twitter Maker called Twister.  From the Classtools website, "This new template allows you to create fictional "status updates" that can then be printed off for display purposes. Students could be asked

What are the most important people in this topic?
What was their most important moment within the topic?
What would their comment be about it?
What particular keywords would they use within their comment?
What hashtag could they maybe use at the end of the message?
What nickname did they have / could we invent to use as their username?"

Here are a couple of fake Twitters.  If you would like to use this in your class, have your students go here.
