Character Facebook Page

Imagine you are one of the characters in the novel that you are reading. Using Edmodo, you will create a Facebook page as if you were that character. When writing status updates, think about the things that your character might post. Dont take quotes from the book, but make inferences as to what they might say. For each due date, you will write one original post and one comment on another characters post. Remember, you are writing from the characters point of view and not yours.
