A few weeks ago I blogged about the AMAZING Fakebook Powerpoint Nicholas Provanzano created in PPT & shared on Slideshare. I even purchased the Discovery Teacher set of Farcebook blank posters & fictional characters examples that I mentioned in the blog - SWEET!
We laminated the blank posters so that kids could write on them with dry-erase markers or yes, overhead pens [gasp!]... There are times in our school (like right now) where getting into the iMacLab or using the MacBook mobile labs is difficult due to standardized & computerized testing. These high engagement low tech alternatives are GREAT!
But I wanted MORE! So, I re-imagined and re-worked the framework, changed the name to Fakebook, changed some of the text & wording.Created in ComicLife in I exported the image as a .jpeg and inserted into a MS Word doc. You'll need LEGAL SIZE paper to print it but I think it looks real cool! I showed it around to my super cool teachers & they liked it!
In a few weeks Mrs. Cullison's & Miss Buerger's 7th grade English classes are coming in to the library to do Mythology research & we're gonna have the kids create Fakebook pages for their chosen gods or goddesses!

What do you think?If you already have ComicLife I included the Comicdoc version for you that you're welcome to tweak to your heart's content - It's Creative Commons so just keep the attribution please!
Oh...and why Fakebook.uk? Well, being of Welsh & Celtic descent - I'm a tried and true hardcore BBC America, Torchwood & Dr. Who loving, Brit-ophile, & delightfully pretentious git, OR any excuse to write "favourite!"
