> We have a teacher here who did the same thing a couple of years ago in MySpace.

> We did this with a MySpace page for Walk Two Moons. MySpace pages generally play
>music so they had to come up with a song the character would probably listen to as
>well. They had to leave 'wall messages' as if they were from friends about what
>kinds of things friends would say too. We're limited with technology here, but the
>layout was through Microsoft Publisher. You could also do this on PowerPoint (and
>since most kids have that at home, it's easy for them to work on in two places).

> hi - do you have apple computers? If so, do you have iweb? I am currently doing a
>project with my 5th graders on explorers where they make an iweb (webpage using a
>template) as if it were the explorers myspace page and they fill it out with true
>and "inferred"/imagined information that the explorer might post. ie. for Ponce de
>Leon they'd write a paragraph explaining why "i ponce" am famous. Under favorite
>vacation spot: DisneyWorld* . The * tells me the student knows it's a joke but it
>has to have some basis in fact. For some italian explorers they might write
>favorite food: spaghetti*, favorite movie Titanic*. For some under friends they
>might write another explorers name if they truly were friends, books - the one
>they wrote themselves, etc. It's pretty 21st century. Photos/maps etc come from
>wikimedia commons with links for credit. They link to good websites about the
>explorer.
> Even if you didn't have apple/iweb you could have them make it with a word doc.

> Last year I created a template in Pages (we have Mac's) and the students went in
>and created a CharacterBook page (I've attached a pdf example).
> I also learned ReadWriteThink (
>http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/student-interactives/profile-publisher-30067.html
> ) created a profile publisher that might work for your teacher.

>got the idea from the teachers discovery catalog - they sell posters for famous
>people (including authors) called "farcebook." Right now the plan is to create a
>template using microsoft publisher that follows the format of facebook and as done
>in the posters. If you google search farcebook posters you will see them.
