My students love creating Facebook accounts for the characters from our stories.  Not only does this make them think about relationships between characters and how they motivate the story, but it also gets them wondering who these character would be if they had real lives.  Creating Facebook pages for characters helps students look at characters deeper than they do when they answer study guide questions or participate in group discussion because they have to think about how each would speak and respond to others.  For the longest time, my students drew their own Facebook templates and used post-it notes or strips of paper to create postings.  While they really liked doing this, it was very time-consuming. It was important to my students to create pages that actually looked like a Facebook because they wanted them to seem authentic. During this past year, I discovered a website called Fakebook.  This site allows students to create Facebook pages by providing them with a user-friendly template.  It is definitely worth checking out.
