Reminder: Fakebook Projects Are Due On Monday.

For your next project, you will be creating a FAKEBOOK page, an internet-like profile page for the person you have been reading about in your biography or autobiography. In order to complete this project, you must do the following:

• ·      Go to “The Chalkboard” to download the templates for the project. This will be a two-page project; there is a different template for each page, so be sure to download and save both templates.
• ·      Once you have downloaded the templates, you can start to create your FAKEBOOK page.
• ·      The first page is the profile page. Most of you, I am sure, are familiar with Facebook. The layout of this page will look similar to what a Facebook page looks like. It will consist of the person’s name, a profile picture, a status update, some brief biographical information, a friends list, and wall posts by 3 different friends (including YOU).
• ·      Search the internet to find a picture to use as your profile picture.
• ·      Your status update should begin with the date and should make reference to something significant in your subject’s life.
• ·      The friends list should consist of the names of 5 or 6 people that played a role in your person’s life.
• ·      The wall posts that you add to your person’s wall should be from 2 different people who had a major connection to your person. Each wall post should begin with the date. Each post should make reference to a specific event in your person’s life. Be sure to include the name and profile picture of each of these friends to the left of each wall post.
• ·      Your wall post should consist of the title and author of the book you read and a general statement about the person. You can also ask them a question
• ·      For Example: “Hey, Mitt Romney. Thank you for accepting my friend request. I read a lot about you in the book Mitt Romney: American Hero by John Cantante. I was wondering what you have been doing since you lost the election.”
• ·      The second page will consist mainly of biographical information.
• ·      In the “All About Me” section, you will write a brief biography of your person. BE SURE TO DO THIS FROM HIS OR HER POINT OF VIEW!!!
• ·      For the “Blog Entry”, you will be writing about one specific important event in your person’s life. Once again, BE SURE TO DO THIS FROM HIS OR HER POINT OF VIEW!!!  Be sure to begin with the date.  Explain what happened on this date and tell how “you” (your subject) feels about it.
• ·      The “Favorite Quote” section should consist of some type of famous quote that can be connected to your person in some way. It can be something said by or about your person, but it doesn’t have to be.
• ·      The “Hobbies and Interests” section should contain a list of the hobbies and interests of your subject. Don’t make things up. They should be actual and authentic interests.

This project will be graded and counted into your project/test average. Be sure t give your best effort.

This project is due on Monday, December 10^th.
