Today we are sharing with you two interesting Google Docs templates that students can use to create fake Facebook pages for a famous literary character or historical figure. This is a good and fun way to engage students in research practice. These templates, created by Derrick Waddell, are available in the template gallery of Google Docs where you can download and use them on your own Drive.

The Fake Facebook templates provided here are created using Google Drawing meaning that when you click on “use this template” button associated with each of them, a copy of the document will be opened in your Drawing. From there you can customize them the way you want. There are instructions and suggested ideas to help students use each of these templates.

A Must Have Facebook Template to Use with Students

February, 2015
Today as I was browsing Larry Ferrlazzo’s resourceful website, I came across  this post on the best tools for ELLs in which he mentioned Fakebook. I have already reviewed this tool a year ago but since then some new interesting updates have been added making Fakebook a powerful web tool to use with students in class.

Fakebook allows teachers and students to create fake or imaginary profile pages that resemble real Facebook pages. There are different ways you can use Fakebook with students. You can, for instance, use it to chart the plot of a book, chronicle the development of a character, document a series of historical events,or simply to highlight debates, relationships,connections between people and may more.
