Have you tried MyFakeWall.com?

This is a pretty cool website. It allows students to create a FAKE facebook page in order to show character analysis on a story read in class. It is not associated with facebook and is completely made up and controlled by the one user creating it. I think it would make a really fun novel review to show they got the gist of the story.

Here is an example one I made for The Three Little Pigs
Three Little Pigs Fake Facebook Profile - MyFakeWall.com

I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way to give students access considering you need to be signed up to use it. I'm thinking I may have to sign in to my account and then they can have their own wall that they are working on... If you have any suggestions, please comment below!

  1. Love the MyFakeWall idea! What a great strategy to use in the classroom, and your example is wonderful! Have you seen other educational uses for this? Is that the main point of the site?
