Lesson Ideas:
Fake social media can be used as tools to summarize film or novel narratives, give a personal account of an event or period in history from the historic figure’s point of view, show public reaction to an invention or social movement, etc. The ideas are endless. Students need to take on the 'voice' of different characters, historical figures, etc. How would they text? What would they post? How would they respond? Challenge them to summarize within a certain number of texts.
