create a 'facebook' style website or social media page however I am not sure what site or program to use. Obviously the site will need to be 'school safe'. This way they can create a profile , events, status, likes, friends etc pages to show their knowledge
of the book that they have read in a mode to which they are familiar and confident.”</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>

have been done for me.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
