In a year 7 class, where small groups were working togerther, each student had to choose a character from their novels and create a page. They could then work together to come up with the "news" columns to send to their "friends". It worked a treat and they were all totally engaged with the task, and most, showing a real understanding of what was going ion in the books. With some slight adaptions the template you created was a great success, with the boys not really understanding how much thinking they were putting into the task and how much it said about their reading and learning. Thanks so much for sharing the template. Finally had a chance to work with a class using the template to create character profile.

Thanks for sharing. I'm definitely using the idea next year to spice up the element reports my 8th grade students do. Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

I love it! I'm an English teacher and you've just inspired me to do the same for authors or characters in a novel. Did you just grab screenshots from your own Facebook and blank out all the info, leaving the frame for them? Thanks for the idea, Dale! What a creative and engaging idea! I love it!
