This series of Facebook handouts can be used to create a mock facebook page for any character(s) from short stories, novels, films etc. This "fakebook" worksheet will be a fun assignment for any appropriate classroom setting. Included are a main facebook handout, an optional facebook handout (it can be printed on the back of the main handout), a brief student instruction handout, and a teacher grading rubric. It's easy to use since many students are already so familiar with facebook. Students connect to this assignment easily and generally enjoy it.
My kids LOVED this activity! It made the characters come to life for them, and they eager to know more about them. (We used it with "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian".) I will certainly use it again. Thanks!!!

Is it possible to complete this profile on the computer and then print it out or can it only be done by hand?
Hi joshuapack. Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, the only feasible way to complete the document on a computer would be by making it available in a non-pdf format. The document in its original, non-pdf form is really quite complicated. It consists of images, shapes, text boxes, clip art etc.. With the array of different objects that came together to build the document, it is not easy to go in and fill in the required information on a computer. Students would need quite a bit of editing background knowledge to do it correctly, and they could easily accidentally rearrange the document’s parts. I’ve actually tried it with my high school students and it was not a pretty sight! Lastly, the pdf-version is a safer version for publishers since it makes it difficult for those bad guys out there to edit and republish as their own. Thanks, again, for your question! If you have any further questions, please feel free to e-mail me at admin@enflourish.com

Can you make changes to the pages? I was thinking to use them for opening day this year-as a get to know each other activity-maybe to post on a bulletin or ??? Would it work? Thoughts on a catching title for a bulletin? Thanks!
Hi there. Thank you for your purchase. Using this item as an opening activity is an excellent idea. I think I'll do the same thing! I've added a link to the Microsoft Word version of the same document below. If you'd like, download the document and edit its header to fit your needs. Make sure to copy and past the full link. I hope this helps. I'll remove the link in a few days. Thanks again!
