Facebook for Literary Characters


Having students create Facebook pages for literary characters is one of the coolest teaching ideas I have heard of. What do students love more than anything? FACEBOOK. So why not use it in the classroom? Students can individually or in groups either make an actual Facebook page online (which would be strictly monitored by the teacher and having several privacy controls), or students can fill out the poster shown to the left. What's awesome is that students have to really know their characters to correctly fill out the About Me section and the Interests section. Here a link to where you can buy the posters: http://www.teachersdiscovery-english.com/item_details.php?item=150+300+P0000822&SBJ=English
