Website of the Week #16- My Fake Facebook Wall
www.myfakewall.com
Basics-This is a site where you can create a fake facebook wall for fictional characters, historical figures, or just about anything. This is not connected to facebook in any way. Each page is a separate thing. Students create a username, log in, create the fake wall, and then they get a link to see what they have created.

Test Kitchen:
We have been using this in my class to create facebook walls for characters in the books and authors that students are researching. They enjoy doing this a lot more than writing a paper and they have to really think about who their friends would be and what they would say to each other. They have to know the characters really well. They also have find basic information about the person or character. We are in the middle of this project but, I thought I would share in case anyone wanted to use it before the end of the year. It really seems to make it relevant for students and I haven't heard any complaining about do this project.
