Bryan Pechtl from Scobey sent this idea in response to my recent post on the resources we gathered for Montana student biography projects.
“Great info! I'm passing along an activity I do with my kids. It's, obviously, a play on Face Book. The poster templates are from Teacher’s Discovery and can be ordered online. Kids love them because they're fun, and I like them because it drives the research of their subjects. I try to pair up people and have students' subjects chat with each other, Custer and Sitting Bull, for example.”
How do you use biographies in your classrooms?
A teacher told me about this site via email: Fakebook - http://www.classtools.net/fb/home/page.

More fake facebook resources, these, fittingly, from the Montana Council on History and Civics Education Facebook page: http://web20edu.com/2011/04/16/fake-facebook-templates-and-pages-for-student-projects/
